Would something other than a wrench fit better? For example:
I like the wrench a lot, I think "tools" when I think of Webware.

the feather ties it to Apache too much. while most of us probably use it with Apache, it is NOT an Apache extension.
I know, there are several problems with this specific example, but perhaps someone could offer a better metaphor...
Maybe a way to use the wrench, and something that says: "web". A globe, perhaps a wrench adjusting the globe? I'm NOT a designer, so I'm not going ot even try to make an image out of that idea!
More than a good website, more than a logo, what Webware needs to get some real exposure and use is a Book. I had a colleague who had worked with me on a Python based project, then set out to build a web app. After looking through the books on developing for the web with Python, and buying "Web Programming in Python", he was thoroughly confused about what combinations of tools to use (CGI, mod_python, mod_snake, jonpy, quiote, webware, etc.). If there was a book: "Building web applications with Python and Webware", that told you what tools to use, and how to use them, he probably would have used it. Instead, he was faced with Zope, which he didn't really like. So, he bought a book that told him how to use PHP and MySQL to do what he wanted. He didn't like PHP better, what he liked was that there weren't so many options he had to choose from for every part of the project. A self contained book about Webware would really make the difference!
That being said, I have neither the talent nor the time to write such a book, but I think someone who did might even be able to earn a decent profit from it.
