Re: WO PR
Hi Jeremy,
I wrote most of the wikipedia entry on WebObjects, including the bit in the
intro about WO's declining position in the marketplace (see below).
We need to remember that Wikipedia is designed for entries of encyclopedic
standard... it's most definately not a PR site for WebObjects or anything
else!
I think the entry is as pro-WebObjects as it can possibly be without being
biased. If anything it could actually do with a "Disadvantages" section as
I only posted an "Advantages" section!
Regards
Graham
