woproject-dev lights out

This is the last message sent via woproject-dev to its 332 subscribers. =
It was a fun ride. WOProject was started some time in 2002. That's 10 =
years ago, you know! The earliest message in the archive dated June 24 =
2002 had a subject "This is a test", just a few days later there was =
something more meaningful - "[ANN] WOProject 1.0 alpha released". And a =
month after that Uli send a message "i have just added wolips into =
woprojects cvs..." The rest is history :-)

Turning off woproject-dev (as well as womaven-dev, woproject-commits and =
woproject-build and issues.objectstyle.org aka Jira) is also a milestone =
as it means lights off for objectstyle.org as an open source community =
site. Back in 2001 the only open source hosting option was SourceForge, =
which wasn't that great. ObjectStyle was an experiment of how far we can =
go in providing ourselves with everything we need to collaborate on the =
open code. It was successful and launched 2 great communities that will =
continue to thrive. Cayenne - at the Apache Software Foundation. =
All-things-WO - at wocommunity.org.=20

With 2 main projects "graduating" to their current homes, with Google =
Code and GitHub out there, there is really no reason to keep going as =
objectstyle.org. I will still own the domain (and a peer domain =
objectstyle.com that belongs to my software company that is doing well =
and is not going to disappear), will continue to host low profile =
resources needed by friendly projects (currently - a Maven repo for =
things missing in central). Maybe someday there will be a case for =
reviving the site, but for now we are done. Thanks for sticking around.

Thanks,
Andrus

(P.S. don't bother replying to woproject list of course. You may send =
replies to the apple list or to me directly)
