Hello Glen, I will send my ICLA soon and I have to CCLA too and It is already signed !
You are right about documentation. Mailing Lists exists for that to supplement wikis and blogs. Say me if you want any help for websphere. I know very well WAS 7. Zero knowledge about others except tomcat. I could install WAS8 without problem to test it. Thanks. 2013/5/27 Glen Mazza <[email protected]> > Hi Nicolas, your efforts would be most appreciated.
