This is the last message sent via woproject-dev to its 332 subscribers. It was a fun ride. WOProject was started some time in 2002. That's 10 years ago, you know! The earliest message in the archive dated June 24 2002 had a subject "This is a test", just a few days later there was something more meaningful - "[ANN] WOProject 1.0 alpha released". And a month after that Uli send a message "i have just added wolips into woprojects cvs..." The rest is history :-)
Turning off woproject-dev (as well as womaven-dev, woproject-commits and woproject-build and issues.objectstyle.org aka Jira) is also a milestone as it means lights off for objectstyle.org as an open source community site. Back in 2001 the only open source hosting option was SourceForge, which wasn't that great. ObjectStyle was an experiment of how far we can go in providing ourselves with everything we need to collaborate on the open code. It was successful and launched 2 great communities that will continue to thrive. Cayenne - at the Apache Software Foundation. All-things-WO - at wocommunity.org.
With 2 main projects "graduating" to their current homes, with Google Code and GitHub out there, there is really no reason to keep going as objectstyle.org. I will still own the domain (and a peer domain objectstyle.com that belongs to my software company that is doing well and is not going to disappear), will continue to host low profile resources needed by friendly projects (currently - a Maven repo for things missing in central). Maybe someday there will be a case for reviving the site, but for now we are done. Thanks for sticking around.
Thanks,
Andrus
