- Thread-topic: New mailing list for community future
Unfortunately I wasn't at WOWODC, but I have been following the subsequent discussions with interest. Is the new working-group mailing list active? I just subscribed but I can't find an archive. It seems like the community discussions are still taking place on the Apple list. So I am posting here for now.
I guess the community surveys highlight this to some extent but I am sure that there are lots of very active WebObjects developers quietly lurking out there. I have been on this list for over 10 years and rarely post. I know a lot of other dedicated WebObjects developers who do the same thing. There are 5 experienced WO developers in my office and we are training new ones. The community in Europe used to be fairly strong, especially in Germany I think. There was a community group called WOCOA which used to reach quite lot of people. I went to well attended events in Amsterdam and Paris. Have all those people stopped using WebObjects, or gone to Apple, or is it just that the people who were organising the community moved on? Perhaps there is a completely separate German WebObjects community organisation. If there are still people around then I guess with a few enthusiastic volunteers and sponsors there could be European community events again.
The other thing I wonder about is the legacy WebObjects documentation and PWO1 and PWO2 training materials. I guess they don't certify WO trainers anymore! The documents are outdated, but were well written. I suspect the community could get away with using them as the basis of up-to-date documentation on the wiki without getting in to copyright trouble?

Hello everyone,
To continue the discussion about the community future and what was discussed in the Community Talk at WOWODC, I created a new mailing list so we don't "spam" the regular mailing lists.
