Hello Mike and all WOCommunity,

I'm started developing on WebObjects 5 years ago, previously I had experience with PHP+MySQL. I use Mac since 1986, i was born in 1980 :-) and I have a nice collection of old Macs...

The first time I used WebObjects was a bit hard to understand the mechanism, but now WebObjects for me is simply fantastic. In webobjects I developed a framework with helper functions, that are very very similar with WOOgnl and some ERExtensions.... unfortunately I started using Project Wonder too late, one year ago or less. I always used Xcode before switching to Leopard, now obviously, I use Eclipse + WOLIps.

I'm also a syetem administrator, and I have 5 Xserves :)

I'm writing to you because I have a project:
MacOS X server WebMail service is the opensurce PHP squirrelmail, that is terrific, ... slow, and looks very bad, I wolut lile to create, with help of WO community a beautiful WebObject application for webmail, I work in a design company and we realized a lot of beautiful (I think) sites. Some examples are:

http://www.polisem.com
http://www.renatozacchia.com
http://www.apell.it
http://www.fater.it
http://www.borgodicolloredo.com

The best WebMail I heve seen is .mac Mail, is simply fantastic, but I think apple will never opensource it :)

I can make all graphical layouts, html css and javascript coding, but I'm sure I'll need the WO community help for building a great WebObjects app.
My WebObject skill is good, but not so advanced I think.

Second... I would like to use WebObjects better every day, but I'm still unable to find some documentation, can you provide some links and howto for these:

How can I use SVN with Eclipse? I read is great to use SVN, even if I'm the sole developer (and I am), but I know nothing about SVN

Sometimes, when I'm developing an application I'm also developing some framework for that application, actually I develop the framework, I build then and I have a simlink from myframework.framework to my Library/Framework, so I don't need to copy the framework everytime.
But I'm sure this is not the correct way, is only a workaround.


Regarding my existing frameworks, as you can read above I made some framework similar to WOOgnl or ER, now I think is unuseful to continue developing clones, but some mine frameworks have some useful stuff that WOOgnl doesn't have, can I contribute to WOOgnl to make it better?

I send this email to all WebObjects community because I think we can do really a great stuff, and I would like to thanks anyone is this list who everyday helps the WebObjects roadmap.


Best regards
Amedeo Mantica


ps: Mike... there is a bad bug in Entity Modeler 1.0.5, there are a lot of problems subclassing an Entity, some attirnuteg get not copied, you should check it :-)
