But this is not enough, requirements are not only a good license model, a fancy look & feel and demos ... playing with it opens your mind to a new "way to do", when you make a choice you married somehow with the tools, technologies and most important with "the way" everything is done. I follow up the SVN repository, developers mailing list, looking at source code, etc Looking behind the scenes I am very glad to feel how everything is done and grow, it is exciting how things are changing. From last version we can see very very important improvements, we already know everything can be better and better, there is a bug just waiting us at the next corner but let you take a rest and feel and breath the fresh air of QooXDoo state now.. simply CONGRATULATIONS to everybody, from the developer team to all contributors and people sharing their knowledge and experience ... this is the real "open source" experience. Finally let me summarize what is change in my "way to to", my "way to think": - After many years of poor JavaScript love and peace (only to validate and do some tasks) I can develop a whole GUI app. Wahhh !!! - I can play with client and server with no page reload, hits, and redo same code thousand of time in a user session inter-boring-action. - Almost everything is a Object ... class ... OO !! - Everything can change from an event, things are not linear, be ready for an event everywhere. Open your mind and wait ... - Nightmare of years on trying IE with the work done, fighting with HTML, JS, CSS, etc to make everything work as it was created, etc are now from the old days, thanks for the rendering !!! - I can concentrate in a pure application design an implementation, rather than suffering to synchronize tools, I can work deeply in application logic and flow, defining what user wants and how. - Sometime dreams can be truth , sometime user wishes can be done, excluding bugs and new features, of course. Everything at server side looks more clear and clean. Things can be simple and easy if you are able to be concentrated in one thing deeply at a time. Thanks !!!
