I think that the two web sites (whywebobjects.xxx and .../wiki/ Programming:WebObjects) should serve two very different purposes.

The whywebobjects site has, and should continue to, run as an advocacy site. It's content should include lists of (& links to) successful deployments, testimonials, comparisons and evidence of superiority over competing technologies (e.g. RoR) and such.

The .../wiki/Programming:WebObjects pages should focus on educational content. They should include topics showing how to do things in WO, educational FAQ lists, resolutions to common problems and such.

Although I think there's room for overlap between the two (and I certainly believe that they should link to one another), I also believe that if either attempts to fulfill the objectives of the other, it will weaken it in its primary purpose. They should remain separate and distinct.

Regards,
Jerry

When I heard that whywebobjects.com had been taken (as I understand it, just by someone who then wanted to sell it back at an inflated rate), I registered whywebobjects.org, whywebobjects.net and whywebobjects.info before the same could happen to them. I posted a message asking what we should do with it, what kind of content do we want, should I host it and/or have Dov put back up the whywebobjects.com stuff, should we do a wiki site, etc., but at the time didn't get any feedback. Up until a couple of days ago, there was a placeholder page asking for content suggestions to be sent to my email address, but due to an in-progress physical office location move it'll be a couple of more days before that machine is back online.

Wouldn't it be best to point it to the WebObjects wiki book?
