This is a bit of support for Sebastian. I'm relatively new to the qooxdoo community, so I may not understand all of the history.
Having followed the mailing list for 3 months, I believe that Sebastian has been extremely patient with feature requests, false alarms on bug reports, etc. I have been impressed by his willingness to add features to the library (and to help out newbies when they don't quite get the system). He has accomodated community contributions by making them available in the subversion repository. He has been a careful guardian of the integrity of the product. Yes, he has high standards for the code -- it needs to fit in with the overall design philosophy. It takes time for a designer to develop a trusted community of coders -- we all think our submissions are of the highest quality, but ultimately, they have to fit into the qooxdoo philosophy. I hate to bring up the "f" word, but there is always the option of forking off the codebase and taking it in a more community- driven direction. But I don't want to see that happen. I think that Sebastian is the best possible custodian of the qooxdoo library. I hope that all the talented developers can find a way to work within the system. You can't argue with results -- qooxdoo is an impressive body of work. I think that ultimately, it would be great if a core of developers could maintain the library and guide it forward. For now, I think Sebastian is doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work!
