Joe is correct. However, I don't think it's the case that Apple does
not intend to write any more WO documentation at all; there was at
least one WO tech writer at the feedback session and she talked to
someone who mentioned a documentation problem. I can't remember what
it was, so I couldn't disclose it if I wanted to. :) I didn't get
any impression at all that they were not planning to keep writing
docs for the code they provide.

I think there is almost zero (somewhat near zero ;-) chance that
Apple will write any more general documentation for WebObjects
(besides the API docs generated by JavaDoc).
I don't think Apple is going to exert any effort to develop "new"
WebObjects developers, but obviously won't mind if the community
does.
Of course, Apple may do otherwise but if they don't then I think this
is a clear message about how Apple values WebObjects and sees its
future.
I'll weigh in here and say that I pointedly asked this question of
documentation of the "other" tools (WOLips/Eclipse/EntityModeler) and
if the documentation writer at Apple would still be involved in this
transition. It was made clear to me that it would need to be a
community based effort, not an Apple one. Since the answer was
concerning what the community needs to do, I feel this was meant to be
disclosed.
Cheers,
Ashley.
