One thing to remember, Most open source projects are the efforts of people spanning many miles, countries (and possibly continents.) Coordinating efforts over a public mailing system is very natural.
Now, I may be entirely wrong on this, and I hope the qooxdoo guys will correct me... but, I understand that all of the core qooxdoo team is under one roof at the 1&1 office, communicating primarily face-to-face and over private corporate email. This may prove far more productive for their work flow (which I imagine includes more than just qooxdoo related tasks) than public mailing lists. This is not to say they couldn't open up their qooxdoo development efforts more, but I imagine they would need to separate the qooxdoo project from its corporate sponsorship of 1&1. The decision makers at 1&1 may not be open to that idea. Yes, qooxdoo is an open source project with every sense of the phrase, yes it can be forked and turned into something more what you expect an open source project to be, but since the core qooxdoo team earns their living developing for 1&1, the decision to make qooxdoo development cycles more open may currently be beyond the core developers' capabilities. Just something to remember when forming opinions on the state of qooxdoo development. I'm just super glad and happy to have what we have. :) -ls On 2014-12-05 09:31, Phyo Arkar wrote: > Yes , exactly. > For example , Rethinkdb, their whole development process is very Open > , everything is on mailing list + github that i can follow every after > 3 months of not reading mailing list. > > If qooxdoo is that open , many good things will happen. > > On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 6:00 PM, John Spackman <john-li...@zenesis.com> > wrote: > >> Hi Martin & Andreas >> >> Interesting , I am now very curious abot followings. >> >> * Thats means , this can be themed using CSS?
