Hi, why can't we have, for example, a folder structure that mirrors the qooxdoo directory in each contributed folder? Then each author would only have to include files there which add to or replace existing files in the main source, and the process of adding them to the final build can be automated, for example with "tools/make.sh --with splitpane_olsson" or something. Why should it be better if I have to read a README with different instructions for each contributed widget and have to move images around, replace files, etc.?
In my opinion, we shouldn't have to wait until the qx developers judge widgets to be a high enough quality to be included in the main tree, which might never happen for some widgets. In order to help development with these widgets, and improve their quality collaboratively, the process should be as SIMPLE as possible, and it is NOT simple at the moment, at least in my opinion - but that is only my opinion, and I might be wrong.
