Hi Robert, I also write content for the Knowledge Center (see my post above). I'm actually moving to another position in the new year, but I'd be happy to put you in touch with one of my current teammates if you want to also chat about the z/OS (or z/VM, or z hardware/firmware) library experience. DM me if so!
Project Lead and Client Advocate, z/OS Content Design and Development, IBM Systems

Hi, Robert - best to send me a DM, so we don't hijack this introductions thread!

Hi John,
I'd welcome the opportunity to engage in discussion with you about the KC and documentation in general. For years I've wished for such an opportunity, to connect with someone who's in a position such as yours.
Would you prefer to do that here? Privately?
Cheers,
Robert

Hi, Robert - yes, I do write (well, mostly update and maintain, but occasionally I write something new) content that's in the Knowledge Center, for several products:
- Db2 Recovery Expert for z/OS
- Db2 Recovery Expert for LUW
- SQL Performance Analyzer
- Db2 Table Editor
- IBM Z Service Management Explorer
- OMEGAMON for Messaging
Which is another way of saying that if you have questions/suggestions/brickbats on any of the above, please let me know!

[Let's try this again] I'm a Content Developer (up-to-date title for "tech writer") for several z/OS products, including Db2 Recovery Expert. Although I've been working with z/OS for almost four years, there's always a lot more to learn, as others have noted. When I'm not writing documentation, I'm a bogey golfer and scratch bowler.
