    The new IBM Systems Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems) is our strategic direction for information centers; to combine the different server products, operating systems, storage products, and systems software products into one information center rather than many separate information centers. Beginning June 2007, the Systems Information Center contains the following product information:
    + POWER5 System p and System i hardware
    + Intellistation POWER
    + OpenPower
    + AIX 5L V5.3
    + i5/OS V5R4
    + Linux
    + IBM Director V5.20
    + Systems Software (Enterprise Workload Manager, Resource Dependency Service, ServeRAID Manager, etc)

    In the coming months, we will be updating the IBM Systems Information Center with more product information.

    In addition to combining the different products into the combined IBM Systems Information Center, we have worked to improve the Search function, and simplify the navigation to make it easier to find content. We have also included a Browse by function which allows user to visually browse for subject of interest.

    Lastly, we have allowed the user to further personalize their information center experience by allowing them to Sign In to the information center. Once the user is signed in, they can set their Preferences to show only the product they are interested in.

    We are very interested in hearing your feedback so we can better improve the product information process.

    I'm glad to see someone undertake the task of coordinating all the various information sources!

    I've been looking for more detailed information on the new Power6 offering (9117-MMA).
    So I was very hopeful that your new link would provide some leads.. but alas not..

    The System p page has a small photo of a 9117-MMA, but the link to the overview document fails..
    https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03030.nsf/pages/SystemPSystemOverview?OpenDocument&pathID=

    Then I tried the Service Guide for the new G30 IO-drawer, but that link also goes nowhere.
    https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03030.nsf/pages/ServiceGuideFor7314ModelG30?OpenDocument&pathID=
    Then I switched to Operating Systems, AIX to find the Assembler language reference that would cover the Power6 instructions,
    but that document (SC23-4923-02) is still the old version (Power5+ only).

    I know it's not your job to create/update the content, but someone needs to crack the whip here!
    The 9117-MMA / Power6 products Announce + Availability dates are long past.
    And the teams that are responsible for providing/updating the documents are late!

    One small suggestion, more relevant to your post:
    The HTML for the starting page has a Title tag of: "Help - Eclipse SDK"
    You might want to consider changing that to something more specific.
    This tag is used by most browers for labeling window Tabs, and for bookmarks.

    Cheers, Eric

    Howdy Eric,

    Thank you very much for your feedback. We are working to fix the broken links for the 9117-MMA pubs.

    As for your question about the AIX Assembler Guide and the browser title, I forwarded your comments on to my colleagues.

    Please continue to provide us feedback so we can keep improving the product information to suit your needs.

    thanks
