Thanks, Thomas, for the clarification. This wasn't apparent to me, although I
have been following the project for a long time (actually, since version
0.5). 

I can see the point of your reasoning, but it doesn't fully resemble what I
have experienced so far. I always had the impression that you as the core
team had a very definite idea of what it was you were trying to achieve and
of the features you wanted to implement. Yes, there has been the occasional
wish from the community, but the main ideas were always yours (driven by
company needs or own reasoning about what needed to be done). There are
plenty of bugs with feature requests that have been there forever [1].

Don't get me wrong, I think this is perfectly ok and it is what has made
qooxdoo what it is. I wasn't fully aware of whether you filed bugs for your
own targets or not. And it would seem to me that something like contrib2.0
is not just about doing us a favor, but actually a very important framework
decision that might have very beneficial consequences (in terms of number of
contributions)

But now I know more and I am happy to file that famous bug that got it all
started. :-)
