Any talk of Google Adwords frightens me. How did you hear about ruby
on rails ? python ? tapestry ? struts ? Was it that you stumbled on a
Google Adword, or was it the buzz generated by the respective
communities and the knock on reviews on cnet, slashdot and wired ?
I agree here. As long WO is not open-source, it doesn't make sense for
the community to take up this role. Wanted to point this out by
linking to articlesin my prior post, ie. making it with WO news /
advocacy into the editorial space, not the paid ad space.
[ IMO, Apple could/should have bought AdWords when WO was still
considered a boxed product..oh well, does the TimeMachine in 10.5 have
a secret AIMF button for WebObjects 5.0 :) ]
Here's some fun:
Try a google blog search on ruby on rails, limited to posts in the
last day:
http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=ruby+on
+rails&ie=UTF-8&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=d
An interesting post I got from this link happens to be "Project
Able" responding to the popularity of RoR for Java developers...
http://blogs.opensymphony.com/plightbo/2006/08/project_able_a_complete_java_w.html
WO might still raise attention from people looking for an easier way
to accomplish things in Java other than J2EE from big vendors, ie.
developers looking at
- Project Able
- https://trails.dev.java.net
...
and similar.
I guess more developers got to know about WebObjects looking at
Tapestry - reading about the inspiration for /history of Tapestry... -
than otherwise, but I can't prove it :)
For advocacy or a foundation to have the best effect in my opinion
for new blood / expanding the community - as someone shouted these
past days in Caps-Lock - WO should go opensource.
So I could start screaming OIMF! instead of AIMF! but that's beating a
dead horse discussed many times...and only Apple can decide on that
issue.
