The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Sorry, but it's more profitable to me to write business application code.
CEO's and CFO's don't care about what the OS does. They want stuff to help
them manage their businesses better.
If your interests are at the OS level, perhaps you should talk to IBM about
going to work for them.

And what would YOU contribute to the "open i" project?
What would the community contribute to it? Most people programming on the
"i" cannot even use its simplest OS API
let alone write some decent API themselves or make an existing one better.
I think it is a variation on the build it and they will come theme.
Open source the OS and people who like to write OS code will learn
about IBM i, be intrigued by it and start to work on the code. I
think the important thing is not to disallow people from making their
contributions closed source. Allow programmers to profit from their
work.
