I'm not really getting what you are hinting at here, because the context of your lines is unclear to me. But to pick up on one issue you *might* be aiming at, this list of mine was not to silence people by saying "hey, we already know all of your wishes", but rather to raise awareness that we are facing a very broad range of topics, both within and without immediate visibility to the casual observer, and that only a small fraction of them can be addressed at anyone time. This gets easily overlooked when people think about the question "why don't they do X?!". We don't "use" our community (funny term, actually), we share. And integrating new people into the project, in whatever role, is not an easy task, especially as not many people are willing to go through a process of regularly answering questions on the mailing list, open well-documented bugs, provide patches, regularly submit edits for the manual, take over responsibility for orphaned contributions, or create and run a country- or domain-specific qooxdoo community on their own, reliably and with a long-term commitment. Which I fully comprehend, since everybody is fully absorbed with their own tasks. But that also means many things are left undone.
