Ah - you've hit the nail right on the head. WebObjects is no longer a product, it is a development tool. Do you ever see ads for CoreData or CoreImage?
Yes, and that was kind of my point - they never do ads for Xcode either, but they do make sure that developers are aware when there is news, through press releases, articles, etc.
There is a lot the community can do to promote WO ourselves, and we should be doing those things. Heck, we can even write our own press releases when there are new WO releases; I've never done it but I've heard there's a way to get them out "on the wire" that anyone can use. But I think there are some basic things we can, and should, ask Apple to do. PR from Apple is going to attract a lot more attention, at least initially, than PR from a bunch of anonymous developers, and only Apple can provide meaningful white papers on the projects they have built, to give just two examples.
We sure shouldn't waste any time waiting for Apple to do these things, but I say it doesn't hurt to ask.
