Re: Infocenter

OK, good tip.. i'll try it!

I would say that if you got the comments you made in this posting to the
right person at IBM... we'd end up with a better Infocenter. That's a
pretty strongly worded statement you make and would be very motivating if
it came down through the right channels! Who knows...

It does seem to be choking on the various java components as they load.

bandwidth is fine. Can browse numerous other sites in the same way.
I think it is much worse on the V6R1 Infocenter for some reason.



Chad -

I participated in a Rochester User-Centered Design focus group (I still
have
the geeky-looking t-shirt!) about the re-design of the Infocenter in 2003
or
2004, and every one on the panel agreed that the performance of this web
site /sucks/.

Apparently they never took any of our recommendations to heart about
getting
rid of all of the Java stuff, which I believe is killing the performance of

the site.

I still mostly use Google to find things on the Infocenter (which is what I

told the Rochester team during the focus group, btw...)

For example:

searching on 'Encrypt data api site:publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter' is
much faster than waiting on the infocenter page to load for using their
search engine.
