Pierce, I agree with just about everything you (and others) have
said today about the need to build a strong community. And, lest
anyone forget, I did start this thread by asking what you all would
want to see Apple doing and then pointing out that maybe the
community could do some of it ourselves. So it's not like I am
expecting Apple to do it all for us.
But there are a few things that I think it is important for Apple
to do.
Well, I agree with that too. As long as part of WO is closed
source, we'll need Apple to do certain things on the code front. Like
perhaps we should come up with a list of things we'd like to see in
WO 6.x, and perhaps even code them.
Maybe I am the only one with super-picky clients, but I know that
it will not take long for a prospective client to come to me and
say that they have been reading what Apple says on their web site
about WO and it's awfully skimpy.
Tell them that since they made $1B from using it to build the
iTMS, they've stopped marketing it so heavily. :-)
The Wikipedia entry isn't so bad.
But perhaps we can get them to "loan" the community
www.webojects.org.
However, since I seem to be the only one still concerned about
this, I'll stop posting about it and send my thoughts directly to
Apple.
Maybe you should just organize it.
I think that "if we build it they will come".
Just like we organized the WO meet, perhaps we should organize the
WO speakers for the next WWDC. I suspect Apple might be delighted to
give us a room.
Next WWDC, Wednesday will be WODay with a full day of WO sessions...
Pierce
