Just for clarification : I have accidentally written "worse", but i meant 
"worth" - this just does not make any sense ;) corrected it in this reply.

Hi Derrell,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Currently we have only 13 open Bugs for Opera (4 of them are reminder bugs):

http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&rep_platform=Opera&rep_platform=Opera%209&rep_platform=Opera%209.5&rep_platform=Opera%209.6&rep_platform=Opera%2010&rep_platform=Opera%2010.50&rep_platform=Opera%2010.60&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

Most time we get the bug reports directly by mail or internal, that's why there 
are so much opened bugs by the core members.

Our efforts to support Opera have several reasons:

1. qooxdoo is supposed to be a cross browser framework - that is why we will 
always try to support all major browser. "Unfortunately" a lot of companies, 
that earn money with qooxdoo based products, see Opera as one of them (2.4% of 
25 million costumers is still a lot).
2. Opera is (exclusive) present on many devices (Wii, Nintendo DSi, mobile 
devices)
3. Opera is getting better and better. The speed of the JavaScript engine is 
always increasing. In my opinion a great browser, worth supporting.

Nevertheless, be assured that we only spent so much time for Opera as it is 
worth it.

Happy new year!

Tino

I've noticed a significant effort being spent on handling support for Opera. 
Furthermore, looking at the last 50 or so new bugs pertaining to Opera, they 
were almost all reported by members of the core team, not be people out in the 
field demanding use of Opera. As can be seen here 
(http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2#) Opera10 
holds less than 2% of the browser market share, and that share is remaining 
fairly constant, not growing 
(http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=3&qpcustom=Opera+10.x)

Is there some reason that significant time should be spent ensuring that this 
rather little-used browser is supported by qooxdoo? It would seem that the time 
would be much better spent working on bug fixes and enhancements that would 
provide more benefit for more people...???

Thanks,

Derrell
