WO PR

In my never ending (but started just last week) quest to spread WO graffiti throughout the world, I've just taken it upon myself to update the Usage section of the Apache entry in Wikipedia.

THE APACHE ENTRY

Before:

Apache is redistributed as part of various proprietary packages, such as the Oracle database or the IBM WebSphere application server. Mac OS X integrates Apache as its built-in web server. It is also supported in some way by Borland in the Kylix and Delphi development tools. Apache is included with Novell Netware 6.5, where it is the default web server.

After:

Apache is redistributed as part of various proprietary packages, such as the Oracle database or the IBM WebSphere application server. Mac OS X integrates Apache as its built-in web server and as support for its WebObjects application server. It is also supported in some way by Borland in the Kylix and Delphi development tools. Apache is included with Novell Netware 6.5, where it is the default web server.

Gosh, it's easy to update those wikipedia entries. Let's see how long the change lasts.


THE WEBOBJECTS ENTRY

If someone else wants to take a shot at PR, you might read the WebObjects entry page on Wikipedia. Particularly the middle portion of this section which, though it may be true, certainly casts no favorable light on WO:

Originally released by NeXT Software in March 1996, WebObjects was the world's first object-oriented Web application server. The time and cost benefits of object-oriented development attracted major corporations to WebObjects in the early days of e-commerce, with clients including Disney, Dell Computer and BBC News. However, following NeXT's merger into Apple Computer in 1997, WebObjects' profile has languished in the marketplace. With many early adopters having since switched to alternative technologies, Apple is itself now the biggest client for WebObjects, relying on it to power its Apple Store, .Mac online services and the iTunes Music Store — WebObjects' most high-profile implementation to date.



Those of you who attended WWDC, and have some idea what the new WO world is like, might want to be fashioning a replacement for some of this entry to make WO more palatable to potential clients.

Regards,
Jerry
