Hey, thanks for doing that. I think it looks snazzy. WebObjects
today is all about supportive community, from my POV, and I'm glad to
be part of it. I'm glad to see so many links on the page pointing to
the wiki book, because I think that's turning into the central
repository for documentation.
This might actually work against the goal, but what do you think
about having a page where all the people on the lists that use
WebObjects can go and list themselves and their organization as
WebObjects users? I think one of the scary things about adopting
WebObjects, is either that nobody has heard of it or they think it is
a dead, has-been technology. It might be nice to see a bunch of
people saying "hey, I use WebObjects!" It would also be useful just
to see demographic info on what kinds of companies are using the
technology.

Hey all,
For those of you who are not attending WWDC, there has been a
lively discussion about many things WO. Motivated by this I whipped
together a WO Getting Started page <http://
gettingstartedwithwo.codeferous.com/> and I'd like to get your
feedback.
This is just a baby step, but please let me know if you think I'm
heading in the right direction.
This the first of what I hope will be a trio of sites:
I would like to create a general WO news blog (with multiple core
contributers) so there is a central clearing house for news of
interest to the WO community (new features in Wonder or WOLips,
announcements from Apple, significant additions to the wikkibook,
good blog posts, etc).
I would also like to create a tutorial blog where short clear
graphical task-oriented tutorials could be posted - I have some
ideas of how I'd want these tutorials to be presented, but I still
have to work out the style guidelines (I'm thinking: short on text,
long on screenshots or maybe screencasts).
I approach this with some trepidation - because someone seems to
try and do something like this once a year - but my goal is to
present unified (a dare I say) inviting front to new developers to
the WebObjects platform. We have a ton of outstanding material in
the various wikis and lists, and I have no interest in replacing
that, but I'd like to give new users a way to find and make sense
of what is there.
Again, feedback (and offers of assistance) is welcome and appreciated.
