Thanks for the positive feedback.

Great. So apparently you were able to leverage qooxdoo's universal app as 
proposed: based on a single functional application core for both desktop and 
mobile, you offer two dedicated UIs on top, one for RIA one for mobile, 
right?That's exactly what we promote with the feedreader demo of the last 
release.

It's good to see, also quite amazing, that you could leverage all that, build 
such an app for your business (even with switching UIs at runtime), and without 
asking for help or guidance via mailing list since the docs are rather sparse. 
As the mobile extensions are new, experimental features, the recent release is 
meant to get first feedback from the community. Looks like the qooxdoo mobile 
framework is in pretty good shape already.

There has been a fair amount of coverage. For sure, it could always be more, 
we're getting there. Anyway, it's not that the world is waiting for yet another 
press release. But we'll keep pushing, particularly as the mobile features, 
previously in alpha, start getting positive user feedback. 

On the other hand, what would certainly help to promote the qooxdoo open-source 
project, is to showcase user success stories. Hope this time you'd be able to 
disclose information about your use of qooxdoo, because from your input above 
we could together create an article, maybe even a press release, which shows 
that you successfully leveraged qooxdoo in a demanding, real-life scenario. Let 
me know.

Bye, and keep up the good work,

Andreas
