Demo looks great. I would love to see the code behind it even though it may be a mess. What are the major differences between qooxdoo 0.1 and 0.5 and how will that improve this application?
Does anyone else have code for a comprehensive application they can share? Thanks Christoph -----Original Message----- I am not the right one to answering this wonderful initiative, but this is the real spirit! I hope you can find collaborators! Meanwhile, on a more constructive note, maybe you want to see how far you can get even with the 0.1 version of qooxdoo. I have put an public version of it here: http://m15s08.vlinux.de/~cboulanger/devel/ (Login with test/test) (Beware: it runs painfully slow in the Internet Explorer, please use Firefox). It has a lot of issues, such as a problem with UTF-8 characters (because MySQl is version 3.x), and the famous Mozilla - "I don't see a cursor and cannot select text in textfields" - bug. Most problems are related to my code and not to qooxdoo. And this is version 0.1 ! Code is available on request and a real mess. I hope I can find the time to port the application to 0.5.
