Generally I agree - and, at the same time, InfoCenter has never been the place to find out about PTFs - which is what Scott's pages do. Seems to me that TRs are in the realm of PTFs - that's how the new function is delivered - and the DW site gives us better information than has been delivered before. A work in progress, of course.

Admittedly, things have got much more complex, what with HMC updates on one place and blade center elsewhere, etc.

One problem with InfoCenter is that it just can't be as current as some other sites - it takes a long time to get content there, and sometimes there needs to be a faster update. That's not just my guess, it's what I've been told by someone I trust.

One reason I'm glad to see the stuff at developerworks is, the IBM i gets all that much more exposure. There was hardly any presence of this platform on developerworks, which has been a very important resource for other things related to IBM systems.

upgrade or new install (just for the OS and LPP's alone).

It should become the main site for new stuff - InfoCenter takes just too long to get updated.
