Speaking from a novice point of view. Even though I know most of
you are extremely talented not only at development but also at
systems admin, you should understand that you are on a plateau that
few will reach.
So if WO was buggy then at least it let someone develop something.
Novices can't even load a database on Leopard let alone figuring
how to make eclipse/WOLips work. Plus you tweak it everyday. Only
you have the ability to keep up. So I always want to give the
solution with the problem.
The nice things about WO was the tools.
So the Eclipse community should create a dmg consisting of click
and run solutions.
1 replace the tools WOB, eomodeler, openbase. put it out on a dmg
that works - charge money for it
then all the guru's can tweak away while the less skilled can just
drag - drop and develop. When enough bugs are fixed you just
release a update of the dmg. Had Apple really kept in-tune they
should have updated WO over the years. A lot of high powered
companies used this program and I think leaving them in the lurch
was not good. So far at least WO had work arounds that let you
still build a project. At least I could. I may not have been able
to do everything I wanted but as long as you can get the app
deployed you are at least rolling. There is no reason that the
WO tools cannot be replicated as they obviously had a long life
span and two or three language generations. I think if you just
leave this technology to the few guru's who can do it then you will
definitely continue to be on a island where you currently are.
Somebody somewhere is going to replicate the WO program that
works. You people are in the best position to do that and
hopefully you will. If I am successful completing by database via
emodeler and openbase then I will get my app deployed. And then
some after that. I don't care if I have to keep a old G4 laptop
and a xserver for ever. It doesn't matter if it works and makes
money which is really the bottom line. There are people out there
still using WO 4.5 because of the Java size and problems. Hell I
am in favor of CocoaWO
and leave it on the Mac platform = the increase in macs now
should ensure and proprietary platform would work if it was solid
I think opensource community is basically a closed community to
anyone but guru's - So it could be great but if you continue to
tweak the rest of us out then it is only a matter of time until a
WO on steriods program will surface. There was a hell of a lot of
money made putting Linux on a CD.
That is my two cents.
with regards,
