Hej Andreas!

Including comments. It is a "simple" bread and butter application, converted
from Java GUI.

If you say so.

Certainly, but it is not an open source project. This passing of yours is
repelling and I would
appreciate more diplomacy.
Our development is not a question for the community and will never be. We have
in qooxdoo found
an excellent base for the web gui and that's it.

21 people 100% of time.
We have chosen to contribute by asking questions, correcting bugs, adding ideas
and getting things
cleared out by the core team.
If we will get more involved future will tell.
Yes, we have a few things we could share with the community as contributions,
but until it is clear
how the policies of openness is we will wait for the right moment.
Bye for now Andreas,
Stefan
