Way to go Jerry! That sounds great.

In a spirit of moving forward in an unorganized manner, I noticed
the first line on the first page of the WO wikibook:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:WebObjects
which said:
WebObjects is a suite of Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server
frameworks and tools that helps a developer to develop
scalable, sophisticated applications for the Internet.
If we want to attract a larger community of developers, that line
begs them to stay away. It does so particularly if they, or their
boss, have any reason to avoid using Macs in the enterprise. I
know, I know... nobody has a good reason for that, but I've still
heard lots of reasons, good or not.
So I changed it to read:
WebObjects is a an integrated suite of freely available
Java frameworks and tools that helps a developer to
develop scalable, sophisticated applications for the
Internet on most computers with Java support.
It is the most mature platform available for enterprise
level web server development, providing object oriented
framework support for rdb object persistence (in any
JDBC compliant database), Ajax, Web Services,
streaming media, Java Client, Rapid Application
Development, file upload/download and many other
popular web technologies.
Originally developed by and for NeXT computers in the
mid 1990's, it was ported by Apple to Mac OS X and
Mac OS X Server under Objective C and then completely
translated to Java. It is the technology on which Apple's
own iTunes Music Store was developed.
It has a very active and helpful developer community
with mailing list support at the <WO Developer Mailing List>.
If that doesn't say it to you, feel free to change it (it is a
wiki, after all), but please keep it inviting to the developer
community at large.
Regards,
Jerry
