It's actually very simple. If you want qooxdoo to be more popular in your specific part of the world, you have to achieve that by yourself. Put on a French qooxdoo promotion site, design advertising material, start a french qooxdoo blog, post regularly on French tech sites about your experiences with qooxdoo, get companies that are relevant to you to present their qooxdoo projects as references. - Whatever it is, *you* have to do it. We have more marketing opportunity than other OS projects, like we can go to The Ajax Experience conference, put up a poster, hand out flyers and giveaways, give a talk. But this is as good as it gets. If we don't reach the people that are relevant to you, there is nothing we can do about it. >> Do we want more users?

What I meant to say was what I already said: We cannot handle more. And if we get more we need more that actually provide help, rather than only need help. If we cannot get more that help, I don't want more. > * I put qooxdoo in all my social networks, comments on ajaxian, give > pointers here to encourage qx community to vote on some site ... > > Anyway, the question would be why is it like you said ?
