Hi Tristan >The documentation of qx.Website is outdated.
Aha! :) >>Although $() is a usefully terse syntax, how about something >>Qooxdoo-specific like $Q or even $$? > >I find "q" even easier to type and read it as "query".

I totally understand - the effort involved in 100% following a third-party API as it constantly evolves could be huge, and then there's the danger that if you support it then people will expect 100% compliance. If you decide not to formally support jQuery<>q wrapper, please don't abandon it! Perhaps it could be released as a contrib so that Qooxdoo is not "held responsible" for 100% compatibility and also contribution can be opened up to the community at large. I don't hate jQuery and I certainly don't feel any affinity with it's coding, and the code reuse benefits for being able to integrate 100% Qooxdoo end-to-end would be fantastic.
