Re: Developerworks imminent demise - Save the content!

The instructions for obtaining a list of the pre-req PTFs in the "Upgrading
your system to V7R3..." and "Memo to Users" also both refer to
Developerworks, so there's that as well.

I guess the PTF information will move and those documents will have to be
updated.

Let it be known that this has IBM's attention. Whether or not they will
have a solution in place that is satisfactory to all of us here and in
the wider IBM i community is unknown (unlikely?) at this point.

I pointed out to them today for example that all of IBM's RFEs flow
through DeveloperWorks and the lack of that alone should scare the
dickens out of upper management.

Many of the things we technical folk use on a daily basis they care less
about of course. As a consequence myself and my peers at COMMON Europe
are in near constant communication with those who own this stuff.

Daily we are relaying 'yet another thing' we don't want to lose. They
are starting to get it.

P.S. Geographay IS a big deal for IBM but they already have to deal with
hundreds of geopraphies for everything else they do so it kinda got a
free ride.

Funny thing is that HCL had a webinar this week on the future of

Connections. They're punting it off to multiple different companies based
on geographical location. Apparently geography was not a big deal when it
was under IBM but it's a huge thing under other companies.

Anyway, during the webinar multiple people asked about the future of

DeveloperWorks content stored on Connections. Summary is: there is no
future - kiss it goodbye.
