I can ask about WWDC08.
The answer will probably be no since the decision was made quite a
long time ago (hard to de-couple it right now tho, so it will
definitely be a while).
Still the 3 issues I mentioned aren't going away, are they? You
probably addressed the 3rd, but 1 and 2 are unfortunately stuck in
the minds of the technology directors.
1. Is clearly a totally bogus argument coming from a Windows shop.
Until they switch to Linux I can't imagine how
you could even hear that argument without breaking into raucous fits
of laughter.
2. You obviously didn't read all of the thread that you started.
There was offer of a support contract in there if you read it.

Hello Robert,
Any chance you or any from your company could attend the WOWODC
this year ?
http://www.wocommunity.org/wowodc08/
WO is more than alive, and getting new adopters. Today, I gave a
short (45 mn) introduction to 9 young students from the engineer
school in Sophia Antipolis (France); to my own surprise, they were
more than receptive, impressed.
Cheers,

For some time now, my company has been set on leaving
WebObjects. We have been running WebObjects 5.2 on Windows
servers. We haven't moved 100% yet, but my next project will be
using JavaServer Faces. And another fairly new project will be
using OpenLaszlo with our existing J2E back-end.
Company's reasons for leaving:
1. WebObjects is proprietary
2. New versions of WebObjects is not supported on Windows
3. Perceived lack of knowledgeable WebObjects programmers (I'm in
the Chicago suburbs -- Northbrook, IL, to be precise)
We do NOT use:
1. Xcode/WebObjects tools [Xcode or WOBuilder or EOModeler]
(except for me on a MacBook Pro -- only because I requested it)
2. EOF
3. WONDER
4. Servlet container (which I do not prefer anyway)
I personally enjoy WebObjects development and wish that
WebObjects would be more palatable to companies such as mine.
Please excuse the ranting, but I want someone at Apple to know
that as great as WebObjects technology is [I personally think it
is the BEST I've seen anywhere], it is losing ground because if
it's lack in thet top 3 items mentioned. I wish so bad that
Apple would do something about it.
I'm guessing people's response will be: Don't hold your breath.
Pity. :(
