I think the real bug-bear for people struggling to get their companies to commit to webobjects isn't the fact that it's not open source - i think it's the fact that you have to buy a mac to get your hands on the frameworks.

Really? That's news to me.


Frankly, I think this is ridiculous too. I can't believe WebObjects itself is a key driver behind mac sales so why not just go the full hog and make the frameworks a free download from developer.apple.com ? If apple did this i think there would be so much more interest in WebObjects...

Not the exact hostname that you wanted but it's somewhat similar isn't it?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/webobjectsdeveloper.html

I, for one, am not surprised that people have the impression of webobjects not being available for download. Think about it...
i.e., <http://webobjects.com> forwards us to <http:// developer.apple.com/tools/webobjects> where the only mention of download is for the Apple Developer Tools... which only runs on: Mac.


Would it be too hard to put a link on the above page to?
http://support.apple.com/kb/index? page=search&src=support_site.kbase&fac=Downloads&q=WebObjects


And it might be nice to put links to community documentation too :-)

I have no control (or influence) over what goes on those pages. I'm a WO user like you.


Alan
