I agree – calling for open source is not thinking different, it's
thinking the same. This industry is too full of popular solutions
that don't really address the real problem. I think that's what Steve
means when he says think different, address the problem and the need.
I don't think open source will solve WO's problems, that doesn't mean
that I don't think it would be nice to be able to browse through the
code, but evaluate what the problems are and then solve those
problems. I think Pierre's group at Apple are doing that.

Hi!
Think different: please present any valid arguments to sustain
your request.
Think different: please request what you want through the proper
channels. People are trying to create a WO Community, being the
communication between WO users and Apple a goal. If you want to
help and to make your voice be heard, you should help building the
WO Community, instead of flooding the mail-list.
Think different: please THINK if open sourcing WO is what you
really want. Because what I want is Apple to actively develop it,
doing a good job that results in innovative features and QUALITY
work, and yes, documented. How many Web frameworks do you know
that are innovative, with a solid, very solid code base (with a
few bugs, naturally), and well documented... AND OPEN SOURCE?
Because I don't know any one.
Think different: open source WO clones/copies/alternatives (use
whatever pleases you) exist. Do you use them? No. Why? Because WO
is still the best. Did being open source helped? I don't think so.
Think different: if you REALLY need to look at the WO source,
you know you can.
Think different: again, stop flooding my mailbox. If you really
want to make your point, put together some decent arguments, talk
with the people who are working to build the WO Community, and use
them to get in touch with Apple.
I don't mean to be rude, but this is getting a little childish...
I was just about to click send on a message that said the same
thing...
OK, not the same thing, Miguel said it better :-)
