Great to see your happy with it, at least from a technical pov.

Wow, this is really impressive! Are you sure you really talk about
"1,200,000 lines of code"? Even if that includes comments, this would
make it by far the largest qooxdoo application at least I know of.

The JS framework of qooxdoo has about 300,000 NCLOC (non-comment) in
total. A large-scale app like GMX.com is also about that size in
addition to the framework classes. 

I guess everyone would really interested in getting to know more about
this huge qooxdoo project of yours. You repeatedly talk on the mailing
list about "openness", being more transparent and so on. Unfortunately
nobody (at least not me) knows either about your company or your
project. :-( Why wouldn't you want to share it with the qooxdoo
community??

Sounds like you got many development resources behind your qooxdoo
project. That is great, and an excellent opportunity for you to
contribute back to the project. Have you ever thought of adding regular
contributions to qooxdoo-contrib? It's a pretty straightforward process,
you certainly have seen the recent contributions, so it also shouldn't
be hard for your team. If you need any help with qooxdoo-contrib,
http://contrib.qooxdoo.org, please let me know.

Bye,

Andreas
