Sure, all contribs are below the same folder in the setup I describe above. Nothing prevents somebody to svn co qooxdoo-contrib (although it's still not clear to me at all why Bugs should live there ... see Derrell's comment) > What you are absolutely right about, though, is to make the orthogonal > aspect (i.e. framework compatibility) accessible much more easily from a > user's perspective (e.g. through a web interface).

Except that it's not that easy to define that aspect with contribs that might work with various releases simultaneously without any changes (how likely this case is you can probably judget better than I). > This, as well as some other valid points (Bugs area), is something we > started to think over already and plan to figure out (with the > contributors) early next year to further improve the qooxdoo-contrib > infrastructure.

Which is great (AND also some danger, but SVN always allows me to go back if I or somebody else screwed up). > Well, that could benefit from a more radical separation of the concerns, > also given that the contribs themselves are going to flourish and It certainly looks like it ... although I personally think the contrib area should be as small as possible (and everything "good" should be become a part of the main line). > qooxdoo-contrib to grow, right. ;-) Everything else would surprise me very much (also some of my hopes is certainly on 1&1 management to continue to support the project at this level).
