I very much agree. In that sense, I really miss the SDK with the updater
and all that jazz. It was quite convenient also to distribute the right
package to developers in a team. If possible at all, we should get that
working again, also for the open source edition. I do think Digia
maintains something like it for the commercial version.
Don't underestimate the value of easy entry either. If people get
familiar with the framework easily, they are also likely to introduce it
at other places they end up working. I have done so in the past myself.
