::: Marco here... I agree too. I'd like to add some gotcha's about moving from DataFlex tables to DB2, accessed from DF32 on Linux and VDF on Win32.

=== Data Dictionaries ===
::: I also want to add a topic on batch create/update/delete using DataDictionaries. Where would that live? Would it be a topic referenced from Web and Windows and Webservices, or should this be another section, 'Data Dictionaries'?
::: I think a section about 'Data Dictionaries' could be great. I'll just add one (also containing the Databases' links from Mike --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 10:16, 25 November 2007 (CET)
=== Suggestion for topic  (Development Tools)===
Can I suggest that we add a new section or link on the main page for general development tools and articles that sit outside of the existing Web/Windows/WS/Console categories. [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 00:07, 23 November 2007 (CET)
:Sounds perfectly sensible to me... "Other" as a general catch-all, or "Other Tools": a bit more specific, but then we might have issues with things that fell outside that ''and'' our existing sections.  --[[User:Mikepeat|Mike]] 00:14, 23 November 2007 (CET)
:: I am OK with a "tools" section. We can still lay down the law in that page :P The trick is to create a separate page for each tool we want to describe - and keep the external links down to a minimum (this should make it easier to keep track of the content on the page). I think the title "Development tools"  could work.  articles not related to these sections can be attached to a specific user page - we should try not to clutter the frontpage and 1st level navigation too much. --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 08:15, 23 November 2007 (CET)
