This community is already split, and there is nothing wrong with that.
There are JES2/JES3 splits, VSE/MVS/VM splits, CICS/IMS splits and CA
splits ;-)
What we need to do is to move in multiple directions, with
coordination where there are common problems, and not to pretend that
there is a single monolithic community. We should look for common
solutions where that makes sense, but not treat commonalty as
desirable per se. Don't expect that, e.g., the archives would or
should go away just because there is a Wiki; they serve different
purposes.

May she recover quickly. You've got your priorities straight; tend to
her and worry about the other issues later.
