There are several Mailing lists available, that keep you up-to-date with the project and help you becoming an active member of the qooxdoo community.

There is one general mailing list for technical discussion, user problems, suggestions and announcements. That’s probably the best place to ask all your questions.

You may subscribe to the following feeds to be super-connected to the various areas of activity:

• News blog
• Changes to the homepage
• Commits to the SVN repository

We actively encourage the community to help in making qooxdoo an even better open source framework.

To make it as easy as possible for people to develop contributions for qooxdoo (e.g. additional widgets, frameworks on-top of qooxdoo, etc.) we introduced qooxdoo-contrib. It features a complete and convenient infrastructure and allows contributors to develop and release their work independent of the state and progress of the qooxdoo core framework. It is also used as an incubator for rather experimental features and early additions to the framework. Due to its very liberal SVN access policy it is also a perfect place for collaboration on new and improved features.

Particularly when contributing to the framework itself, please make sure you understand the license of qooxdoo and the rights and obligations that come with it. One important aspect of this is that all source code contributions that are to be included in qooxdoo must also be governed by the terms of the qooxdoo license. Contributions in qooxdoo-contrib should either be put under the same dual-license as the framework itself or an even more liberal license.

qooxdoo is used in many web applications and in different scenarios. To get an idea of how a qooxdoo application could look like, there is a collection of real-life examples. Of course, as is only be the tip of an iceberg, since it is based on voluntary feedback from the community and typically does not include non-public enterprise solutions.

There is a good chance to meet the core developers and fellow qooxdoo developers in person. It would be great to meet you at conferences and other social events in order to discuss the framework, your application and, of course, have a lot of fun.

A full-featured Bugzilla installation enables every qooxdoo user and developer to keep track of any technical issues and to post any bug reports or enhancements. Have a look at our Bugzilla overview page.

Besides any future enhancements found in bugzilla or the ideas posted to and discussed on the mailing list, it is useful to collect features that currently seem to be missing from qooxdoo on a user-driven Feature Wishlist.
