Just download the SDK.  http://qooxdoo.org/download#sdk Under
frontend/application, the api viewer and showcase are under (duh!) apiviewer
and showcase, respectively.  The examples are under
sample/source/html/example.

qooxdoo wants to control the page.  It's easy to embed HTML in a portion of
a
page written with qooxdoo; not quite so easy to embed qooxdoo into a portion
of an arbitrary HTML app.  If you can allocate a frame for the qooxdoo
portion, it becomes easy.  That isn't always reasonable, though.  There has
been a bit of talk of a "lightweight qooxdoo" (my term; I don't recall how
it
was called in the discussion) that would make it easy to do what you
request,
but that's for some point in the future.

The List widget does not, but the Table widget does.  Most uses of the List
widget can be implemented easily with the very powerful Table widget.  The
Table widget is very fast with large lists, as it only renders the currently
visible rows.  (Rendering large lists is *really* slow, particularly in IE.)

No, but code contributions are welcome! :-)

Cheers,

Derrell
