Wait - maybe two things are getting mixed up here. One thing is "getting at qooxdoo" - doing an initial download of some package that you can reasonably work with. And yes, that could be a pre-build qooxdoo .js file and the bunch of resources, all in a single .zip file. We had that until some way into 0.7.x (it was called "quickstart"), and I can add a few words if you will why it was eventually dropped from the releases. Let's call this "download time". The other situation is when you have written an application using qooxdoo, and want to run it from a web server. Let's call this "deployment time". This is what I was referring to. For other js libraries there is no real difference between the two. You initially download a .js file, you code against it, and then you drop it together with your own code in a deployment directory on your web server. You can even drop it into a central script directory and always load it from there, so multiple apps can make use of it. Grabbing just the qooxdoo .js file this way would not work. You would have to copy all the images along. And not only for this one application, but also for the next, and the next, and the next. This is a waste of disk space you'd say, so you would want to put the qooxdoo stuff into a central directory too, together with the images. But then all the URIs to images from within qooxdoo would stop to work, so you would need to adjust them, for each individual application, as each potentially has a different relative path to the images. And so on and so forth... See what you're getting into?
