It is good to see that Apple is using its own technology... BTW, the
Knowledge Base is particularly buggy. I often get strange results when
I make a search and sometimes, from the recent download pages, I can't
go where I want, I get a server error instead. Weird. Because of all
this problems I get, I don't use it that much.
Yes, I know, and Apple has been gradually killing off other areas of
their site (such as til.info.apple.com which I think ran on Lasso
before) that worked perfectly well and merging them into Knowledge Base,
meaning that they become very broken. I was merely responding the the
comment that was something along the lines of "even Apple can't figure
out how to use WebObjects anywhere on their site", and pointing out that
at least 2 major components of their site (the major dynamically
generated ones, in fact) *DO* run on WO.
The username on the upper left corner is not mine but a serie of
characters without any sense. I have tried to change my account infos,
but can't get in. It looks like I am using some incomplete or test
account but still can reach the Knowledge Base without
authentification. No, really, it's great. I don't think this is the
best example of something done well with WebObjects. You could instead
have said Stepwise, which is smaller but works well.
But Stepwise wasn't written by Apple :-)
I have reported the suckiness of KB to Apple, and complained that they
did away with the TIL, but I haven't gotten any meaningful response and
I can't help feeling I'm being ignored.
