Hello to all. (Sorry for my bad English, I'm Brazilian, I hope you understand me, and yes, it's a long text :-))
I'm a qooxdoo fan's, even I being a newbie :-) I'm thinking in how qooxdoo is a great framework, but it isn't very know. Many people use other frameworks for RIA, like Flex (here in Brazil it's very famous) or Silverlight and they usually spend a lot of money with these tools and other things. Flex is know for the MXML dialect. Qooxdoo is incredible and there is QxTransformer, which as easy as MXML, but it's less know and less documented (OMG, I needed to look into qxtransform source code to learn about QXML! :-) ). But it's a wonderful product. Flex and ActionScript have integration with many IDEs, but so far I didn't see any IDE with qooxdoo support or even QxTransform support. The documentation about QxTransformer is out of date (qooxdoo 0.8), and more complete tutorials about qooxdoo are missing. I know, it's a community project, but it has the power to be a very professional if there are companies and other associated projects, like IDEs and visual tools (for qxtransform). The next gen web browser are going to use hardware acceleration to "boost" web pages and web apps. Flash (used by Flex) already uses hardware acceleration, so it's very fast and has cool animations on it's interface. I think qooxdoo could take advantages of threse new browsers' tecnologies to improve it's performance. Are there any iniciative in this way? There are also other interesting tecnologies link video and audio (html5 tag) and even the canvas and svg element which could be used to enrich the qooxdoo framework. I'm not complaining. I like qooxdoo and I think that it's its time. Many systems are migrating to web and unfortunately proprietary and closed source tecnologies are today the firsts in list of small/medium/big port companies. (IMHO) In this case, is essential to create an ecossystem around qooxdoo. Composed by IDEs, documentation, forums, IRC channels (yes, I miss a IRC channel :-( ), translation teams, etc. Thanks you qooxdoo developers.
