Sebastian is a very driven person and in one sense too much drive for this project. It means that things stop and nothing or very little happens when he does not have time to spend for Qooxdoo for any reason. It is detrimental for the project, because a lot of people spend a lot of time to get things working with Qooxdoo. Indirectly it is a big responsibility and a heavy role Sebastian carries on his shoulders. Of course it is an open source project, but still, if we want Qooxdoo to be useful in professional projects, it is necessary to find at least one more person to share this role with Sebastian. I am not sure how aware Sebastian is about this, because not much has happened by itself in this area, but the more users approaching Qooxdoo, the more problems the project will have. It already has had those symptoms the last 2-3 months. This is not a commercial project therefore it is extremely important to share the burden of Sebastian's on at least one more person. Why is this important? Is it only for the sake of Sebastian or the project itself? I can see that there is so much more to develop before Qooxdoo can be used in a professional project to an extent close to 100% and I doubt that this can be done only by one or two persons within reasonable time without 100% dedication/time. I try to be frank in this, but delegation is now the only way to succeed and the future solution, else there will be a high risk of people choosing other ways. I have already received some communication from worried users indirectly from this list. I do share their worries!
Sebastian, release some of the control but keep the quality control and coordination!
