Hugi,


That’s bad news, but it’s exactly what we expected, in a certain way. The silence and lack of updates for such a long time were telling us the truth, although we wouldn’t accept it — there had to be a final word, straight from the horse’s mouth! I guess we have it now.

So, they say WO is dead. We say “long live, WO!"

We should move on to the next step: nagging Apple to release WO/EOF as open source software! ;-)


Cheers,
Flavio

The guy I spoke to called a couple of times, at first, he had absolutely no idea what WO was but the second time he called, he had obtained information and had a clear statement: "WebObjects is a discontinued product and will never be upgraded".
