It's okay. Everybody has a point; it's time and money. OS works, we can use it, people who want to search it out can use it too (it's not like it's really hard) and by leveraging other open source projects time can be saved. If it comes to mindshare, we've already lost, if there's a battle to be fought: people will use jakarta projects or, as previously blurbed here on these mailing lists, hibernate. > Webwork's great, and I'm sure that OSWorkFlow is also the bee's knees. > OSUser and OSAccess can probably solve a heap of problems (some of the > perennial "how do I secure my WW app?" questions, perhaps) The missing > piece of the puzzle is a show case app which demonstrates how it all > fits together. I don't think a wiki qualifies. Besides, a "showcase app" would do more to expose holes than glue everything together. :) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
