Sure, it is limited in some points but I don’t see that these limitation keep anyone from writing blog posts or giving talks about the framework. If someone is writing about qooxdoo, we are always open to link to that post or repost. That would be a good promotion as those posts are not opinionated.

I still have your pull request on my todo list but I hope you understand that a pull request about coding style is not that urgent, especially in the preparation of a release. It is good to have a homogenous coding style but I have seen much worse code than the qooxdoo framework offers in most spots. So bare with me when I think that coding style is not our major problem and has to wait some time.
