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.

Yeah, I get that Jon, from a realistic standpoint. I just hate to see
it because it doesn't seem to help move the platform forward as easily
as I hope.
I agree Pete, and as Joe and Aaron will attest, that is a point we
tried to ram home with the Rational folks last week. I think that if
there was a real System i open-source community - as opposed to a few
individuals doing good things and everyone else just wanting to use
them - that in Eclipse we have the foundations to "do it ourselves" -
but frankly I don't see it happening.
To me the biggest screw-up in the new structure is that there is no
RDi entitlement for those who have already invested heavily in using
RSE. You can still use WDSC V7.0 but it will not be upgraded with
the new verifiers etc. for V6R1 (strangely though SEU will be! - make
sense of that if you can). I can accept that in oder to develop new
tools (and there are certainly some interesting and pretty i-centric
plans) Rational need to make money. I just don't see how punishing
the very people that are moving the platform forward helps in that
regard.
