Have you used this resource, if so was it useful. How can we improve this space, are there additional features or content that should be added. Any thoughts and ideas that you have would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I found it helpful and highlight what I like below. I have a question though, My boss keeps asking me about the expected arrival of AIX 5.4 - do we know anything more than 2007 yet?

Here are my highlights of the WIKI:
The author of the performance tool nmon created it. It is very professional and extensive. Its an excellent resource for AIX performance management, troubleshooting, etc.:

This tip sheet for performance analysis is very good!:

The AIXpert is a searchable question/answer database from IBM people.

the motd, which has a link to some on-line courses:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r3s/index.jsp?topic=/iphcy/learningandtutorials.html

including an HMC course on line: It it runs in a browser w/ shockwave, I started the hmc version its 20 minutes and seems pretty good.

IBM: i've used the wiki and found it helpful. Thanks. One suggestion, unless I've missed something, would be a way to easily find new and updated content.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your feedback on the AIX wiki.

The only way to find out what has changed in the wiki is to select the "watch" option. The only catch is that you would have to select the watch option on each page that you are interested in watching.

If I find an alternate way, I'll let you know.

Hi, Nicolette

I'm no webmeister but wouldn't it be possible to add some visual indicator on the top page to flag new content, a little lightbulb icon or something like that? One often sees such things on directories or links pages. As an example of what I mean take a look at http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links/ and notice the little "new!" graphics.

So, any recommendations for other wiki software that runs on AIX?
