Hello Jürgen,
hello all,
as long as I'm in the WO business (since 2001), I've never seen anybody using WO in big business. It has always been small to medium sized projects. I my case 10 to 100 kilo-Euros. "Once upon a time" there must have been big WO installations outside Apple - but that was in the pre-2000 era.
Nevertheless, I'm still using WO as a business. I was mostly successful acquiring new WO projects when the client
- had no inhouse IT department (as soon as there are already inhouse IT people, the chance to get WO used in new projects goes to zero),
- had no further requirements (such as using a certain technology or wants to use OpenSource),
- was only interested in "getting the job done".
Thanks to WO/Wonder itself as well as the excellent WO community, I was always able to get my customers happy. In functionality, in budget and in time!
So, my personal strategy is to find a client with
a) a problem (that can be solved)
b) money (I had endless discussion with people having a problem and "wishing" it to get solved - but no business case at all)
You won't find such clients in "project marketplaces" or something alike. I find them - more or less - by accident. But nevertheless I find them.

It is my impression that at least in Germany, after the 2008/2009 crisis the market for WebObjects-projects has really been down a lot. I have been looking hi and lo for opportunities to work with WO again, but apart from self-initiated projects there was nothing going on.
