Yes, that one's good! ;-)
However, we may be mixing up two (or more!) conversations here.
whywebobjects is meant to be a WO advocacy site, with comparisons,
testimonials, links to sites and companies using WO, etc. I got the
domain names (whywebobjects.org, .net, and .info) last year, and sent
an email to the group for suggestions back then, but when I didn't
get any, I let it languish with just a placeholder page (which also
asked for suggestions ;-).
The topic arose again just before WWDC, and this time there was
lively discussion, which I'm sure will shame me into being a more
active caretaker. (Already I've just received some offers of help
and wiki hosting.)
whywebobjects.org will be separate from the site containing code,
techniques, downloads, etc. (Although I'm sure they will link to
each other.)
One name related question we can decide on is which TLD we want as
the primary name (the one the others redirect to). whywebobjects.org
is good, but I also like whywebobjects.info. (Or does anybody prefer
whywebobjects.net? Not my favorite, though.) Thoughts?
Regards,
Mark

That's a good name :-) Or maybe "WebObjects' Not Rails" or
"WND" ? :-P

It will contain link to existing resources (the two wikis, Apple's WO
page, WOCode, etc.) but will also contain a list of people using WO,
success stories and what's/why WebObjects.
In fact, I already have something, but since I'm trying to learn
CSS/XHTML at the same time (I'm still living in a HTML4 world), it's
ugly :
http://www.os.ca/wofoundation/
- What's WebObjects will contain info about WO (mature, used for big
sites, etc.)
- How to start : links to documentation/tutorials
- Resources : links to the wikis, Apple's site, etc.
- People using WO : list of WO dudes, including good details
(number of
years using WO, number of apps, other technologies used with WO, how
many devs, etc.)
- Success stories (not in the menu for now) : success stories like
the
award for SiteMaker, forward migrations, etc.
