<u>What are ToolXchange and ResourceXchange?</u> </em></strong></font>
<font color="#000080" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><em>
The ToolXchange will enable community members to upload and download functions, routines, executables etc. The functionality could be as simple as a no frills ftp site or as robust as a content management system. </em></strong></font>
<font color="#000080" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><em>
The ResourceXchange will be designed to connect Data Integration Professionals with Data Integration Clients. Our plan is to create a seamless process whereby resumes, current assignment information, etc. can be submitted and reviewed while granting utmost respect to community member privacy. </em></strong></font>

We're listening and will absolutely give careful consideration to your responses. But please let us know by posting to this thread ASAP. We'd like to implement solutions in July.</em></strong></font>

I like the idea of ToolXchange, the file upload/download has proved to be very popular at DevNet and something similar should be popular here as well. I would prefer the content management approach with scores for popularity and user ratings to indicate the most useful items.

ResourceXchange sounds interesting and I think IT recruiters will be crawling all over it. I'd prefer some type of directory with a list of companies and individuals who specialise in Ascential problems with dates indicating availability for project work. I am wary of a site that attempts to upload a bunch of resumes, perhaps a few fields of summary information such as years of experience and level of competence in each Ascential product would be better.

A winner would be a decent reporting tool which hooks into the database.

A lively DataStagexchange would serve the purpose of ToolXchange.

This would definetly ehance the resources for Datastage. And it can be controlled as well.

This is what's known as a Lazarus post. The original question was put in 2004. Both sites mentioned now exist - the Newsletters appear on one of them.

Humm... Still Collecting Poll for the both.
