I agree totally (as someone with 2 young kids to enjoy). > It would help if people, who find wrong links, like you, report them to > us, to allow us to fix them.

A Wiki is just a more "open" way of doing this and involving more people in the process. It doesn't depend on you opening accounts on the CMS. It has a low-threshold for contributions. > Also it would be great we have more active developers.

There you have a contradiction: you need more developers, but you haven't invested the time in attracting them by fixing up the basic stuff. I understand the tension, and agree that the you have the right time to change priorities. > You are invited to write a wikipedia article or update any article on > the homepage. Just ask for an account and you will get one for our CMS. OK, go for it. Also, have you considered moving to www.qooxdoo.net or something? It will help to improve perception of the project.
