But in the meantime, please let's continue and advocate. For a few
years, and maybe for a while in the future, we are not only WO
developers and supporters, but also marketing people by need.
Today, nobody on Earth shares a better position than ours to
advocate WO. Sometimes, unfortunately, it comes to believing or
not. If we don't, who will ?
Before I turn the "kill thread" button back on for this subject, I
wanted to reply to this excellent note. If anyone is tempted to
despair about WebObjects, I would have to ask what are you doing to
improve the situation. Ask yourself this.
1) How much of the documentation in Project WOnder have I added or
updated or improved lately?
2) How many tests have I added to Project WOnder lately? Note that
these tests could just test WO itself.
3) Do I acknowledge Project WOnder and other open source projects in
my work?
Project WOnder has a bug database. It has a wiki. That means anyone
can edit it. It has source or adding to or overriding functionality
or fixing bugs in WO. What else is needed?
The best thing you can do to help WebObjects is to help Project
WOnder and WOLips. This is why I quit Apple. I can do more for
WebObjects outside the company than in the WebObjects team. This is
sad, but true.
Lines of code is not always an amazingly meaningful measure of
anything, but I wanted to point out that if one looks at the LoC in
Project WOnder and the LoC of all the WO frameworks when I quit
Apple, Project WOnder does not have very far to go to catch up. Just
FYI, if there were some reason that we needed to replace WO
completely, it would not be that hard. The challenges here are not
technical.
cheers - ray
ps: If anyone has any suggestions for something I can do with the
openwebobjects.(com/net/org) domains, let me know. Otherwise, I'll
be ready.
