That's the good question. Lot of people using jQuery, but I don't see any
framework beside ERJQueryMobile.

I don't think you like this idea :-P

+100.

Well, I guess less people bugs you about development tools and deployment than
me :-) Yes, I do have less questions about development tools once the new wiki
page was up, but it's still a pain for some people. But I must say that the #1
problem is: the incremental builder vs Ant.
I still think that we need that WOLips ships as a Eclipse RCP app, just like
most other IDEs based on Eclipse.

+1. And the OS X development package should be a .pkg so that it can be
integrated in a workflow like ARD or other tools.

It's so 2008. I see lots of comments on Twitter about how WO is outdated, etc.,
and I don't think it helps that our site looks old too.

About the lack of WO devs, we need to pass the word that:
1) WO is not so outdated, especially with Wonder
2) Need current documentation and tutorials
3) Need a easy-to-deploy solution
4) Need to get iOS devs to use Wonder
