Hi Gaetan,

just reading up on the mailing list, thanks for your initial question.
I'd like to add a few comments, as your comments may have been a bit
misleading. ;-)

Of course there is a drop in SVN activity since the 0.8 release. We have
recently focused on other parts of the project that are equally as
important (and made more sense during vacation time). Thomas has gone
into details already about the different tasks, so let me just name a
few: wiki documentation (both manual and project pages), bugzilla
reorganization and updating, project plan updates, 3 new team members,
and so on ...

I thought the weekly status updates would cover much of the project and
provide close, detailed and up-to-date info? :-( In those blog posts we
repeatedly talked about all core developers leaving for summer vacation
after the qooxdoo 0.8 release. Tomorrow is the first day (!) since
August that all core developers are back from vacation.

I'm also a bit puzzled about your comment regarding the activities that
caused a drop in early qooxdoo 0.8 development end of 2007. IIRC, from
the very beginning of our activities there were roadmap updates and
posts to the mailing list about the expected delays. Of course, at that
time we couldn't talk about details, as much of the work was related to
GMX.com, which was to be officially announced a few months later.

Anyway, I think qooxdoo is one of the most transparent and "open"
JavaScript frameworks (weekly status updates, roadmap planning, public
bug and enhancement tracking, public SVN, qooxdoo-contrib, etc.).
Everybody is also welcome to send any project related questions and
suggestions to me directly, I'd be glad to answer, :-)

Andreas
