Sebastian,
thank you for your long mail. I think you are right.
As you probably already know the hours of a day are limited. We have
all our jobs to earn money for our families. The company I am working
for has published qooxdoo as open-source, which is great I think. They
do this because they like open-source software. Also they hope that the
community helps us, to bring out one of the best free javascript
toolkits available today. But there is also another side. We have
projects in our company which are highly time-critical. You cannot just
invest many hours to search for links in old documents and bringing
them up-to-date each time you change a bit in your code or directory
layout.
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. Even better would be, we setup an an
account for our homepage CMS and let them fix the errors themselves.
Yes, I would be happy to do that. 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.
Yes sure. Finally you all have convinced me. We will install a WIKI
after releasing the next version of qooxdoo.
Also it would be great we have more active developers. It will be
better as the company I am working for will invest even more time in
the future to develop qooxdoo. Also it would be great to have a more
active community which also helps us to bring articles up-to-date,
write new ones and add news to our homepage. Don't get me wrong. I am
really enjoying the help of others (which are listed in our
contributors list) but we just need more people to help to keep all the
stuff up-to-date and let the community grow even more.

In the past we have invest more time in developing qooxdoo, than in
bringing it to the market. I hope we could change our priorities a bit
after the next major release is out.
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.
Yes, sure this is a contradiction. That's the problem. ;)
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.
I have just registered you. You should get a mail with login informations.
Also, have you considered moving to www.qooxdoo.net or something? It will
help to improve perception of the project.
Moving. Good question. Probably we should also register qooxdoo.org and
map the same content to this domain. We will discuss it later here.
