Hi Christopher,

I apologize for the OT post to the list.

Don't.

Lately, I have been pondering the wisdom of Apple open sourcing WebObjects.

Oh, my... welcome to the club of "The Question Without an Answer". Or more accurately: "The Question which Doesn't Matter Anymore".


Off the list I've been debating the topic with friends, and I wanted to cast a wider net, and see what the community feels about the idea.

Community?

In any case, this has been debated to death every now and then:

"[OT] The Second Coming"
http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/webobjects-dev/2002-May/ 023790.html


"[OT] An "Open" Letter"
http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/webobjects-talk/2002-May/ 002122.html


And so on and so forth...

But two years later, the question should rather be: who cares one way or another?

WebObjects has become totally irrelevant. There are very good open source alternatives to it [1] [2] [3].

Why would anyone want to waste time with WebObjects in this time and age?

Cheers,

PA.
