as to the various sites.. I think there needs to be an advocacy place (read marketing) that may or may not be intertwined with the overall primary page. I think the objectstyle confluence site is best for pretty much everything else for the community, though it may not be the prime/ideal jumping off point to point people two. A site the collects these with say an intro to the key members might be ideal to show the strength of the community and the cohesiveness (if that gels).
At WWDC I joked that we could have woa.org or the like, and have each dedicated WOA developer who wishes to have their little "Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm a WebObjects Addict. I've been on the sauce for 10 years, dating back to my use of WO 3.5.1..." Some of the original idea was to use Teams and other unmentionable NDA stuff that apple is putting out on their seeds. And again, this could all be done on the wikis out there/blogs/etc. Is objectstyle primed for blog type services? In any case, we may still need to have that smashing front end that leads to all corners of the WebObjects world, whether coding/dev, documentation, marketing, bios, mailing list, or to whatever Apple still puts up.

Yes, that one's good! ;-) However, we may be mixing up two (or more!) conversations here. whywebobjects is meant to be a WO advocacy site, with comparisons, testimonials, links to sites and companies using WO, etc. I got the domain names (whywebobjects.org, .net, and .info) last year, and sent an email to the group for suggestions back then, but when I didn't get any, I let it languish with just a placeholder page (which also asked for suggestions ;-). The topic arose again just before WWDC, and this time there was lively discussion, which I'm sure will shame me into being a more active caretaker. (Already I've just received some offers of help and wiki hosting.) whywebobjects.org will be separate from the site containing code, techniques, downloads, etc. (Although I'm sure they will link to each other.) One name related question we can decide on is which TLD we want as the primary name (the one the others redirect to). whywebobjects.org is good, but I also like whywebobjects.info. (Or does anybody prefer whywebobjects.net? Not my favorite, though.) Thoughts?
