3 == History ==
4
5 * A dotcom is born: eResource
6 * Its focus: commercial real estate on the web
7 ** Big user & advocate of DirectToWeb - more on that later
8 * Later on eResource was renamed NetStruxr
9 ** But name lives on...
10 ** Classes were already prefixed with ER
11 ** Switching to NS would cause namespace conflicts
12 ** Even today, WONDER's classes begin with ER
13 * Folks from NetStruxr, now working on WONDER:
14 ** Patrice Gautier - one of DirectToWeb's original authors!
15 ** Max Muller
16 ** Travis Cripps
17 ** Jim Roepcke
18 * NetStruxr open-sourced a great deal of its code
19 * Lots of innovative, high-quality code
20 * But there were a couple of issues:
21 ** No efficient method to contribute back to NetStruxr
22 *** No CVS repository, no mailing lists, etc.
23 ** Was coded in Java for WebObjects 4.5
24 *** Needed some rewriting for WebObjects version_5
25 * Unfortunately, NetStruxr closed for business
26 * Fortunately, the rewritten code was placed into a public SourceForge project: WONDER
