Outstanding, Buck!

Without a doubt, the archives in midrange.com are VERY handy for delving
into past discussions. But what about the wealth of articles and tips
presented on Developerworks?

I think IBM is weapons-grade stupid if they throw that all away.

Agreed. Indications are though that there's no future home for this material, a far as I can see. Hopefully I'm wrong!

My post was in response to the idea that we should use groups.io as an
alternative.
David has almost single-handedly kept the longest-running midrange
community going. I'm with him.

Absolutely. As you've already shown, (above) the Wiki offers scope for retaining some of this material. More hands needed on deck?
