What would be nice, to me, would be permission to somehow integrate IBM's documentation as it is on the Web into the user maintained Wiki. Or some other way to "mash up" the Wiki information with the real documentation without violating IBM's copyright on that documentation. I can understand why IBM might not be too pleased with a Wiki which "appropriated" large portions of their documentation. And why IBM would be hesitant to "bless" such a Wiki because IBM support might get calls from a user if they used information on the Wiki and had a problem. IMO, support cost was the only truly valid reason to go OCO (which I still hate - so much so that if I had a choice of z/OS or Linux - I'd go Linux). -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
