Here is late-breaking news for those of you who keep in close touch with the qooxdoo repositories. There have been two major changes today:

• The backend part has been removed from trunk. Latest development was done in the legacy_0_7_x branch, and future development will be done in the qooxdoo-contrib repository, so there was no need to retain it in trunk. We are currently working feverishly to extract the backend from legacy and import it to contrib, retaining history, so this change is close ahead too.
• The directories beneath frontend were lifted up one level, obviating the 'frontend' folder. At the same time, the old application folder has been split into application (containing full-fledged, stand-alone applications) and component (containing projects that have a more complementary character).

I'm sure there will still be rough edges. We were working today to get the trunk back to speed. There is more and more authoritative information to come. Stay tuned.
