I've really enjoyed your mail. Thanks Izaak. It feels really good that
there is one person in the community who thinks the same. :)

Kent, there was nothing in your complaint for me to even quote. You talk
about users off-list who have complained, but about what? You talk about
problems in the last 3-4 months, what were they?
The question:
Is qooxdoo's development stunted by Sebastian's tight control?
I've seen the community do some really good testing and bug reporting on
this mailing list. However I haven't seen any large contributions, and
not a single one that improves qooxdoo's core functionality. It's also
very hard to match qooxdoo's quality of code, to the point where you
must almost invest a similar amount of energy as Sebastian and his
company in order for your contribution to be worth considering. What
does this mean for us users? We're getting a lot more of a
'professional' toolkit than we paid for!! :)
Sebastian has been doing all he can to attract more developers, but
there's nothing he can do until they show up. Have patience in this
respect and the project will grow organically.
If you're dissatisfied but you don't have time to do something as large
as rewriting qooxdoo's layout engine (snicker), qooxdoo would benefit
most from some advocacy. Write articles to AJAX development
publications. Write a wikipedia entry. Show off your qooxdoo projects.
What qooxdoo needs is more quality developers, not looser QA.
