}4.  OLC & Discuss are very poor.

I'll agree with you that Discuss is not worth anything, but OLC
is very popular here (I count 22 questions in progress currently).

We are trying hard to make the information in the "stock answers"
section as useful and easy to use as possible, so that it gets
used more (5415 items were looked at in October).

I also made some changes to the browser to make it more functional.
We can edit and delete entries and indices right in the browser and
users can also print an entry from inside the browser (and the
"less" fanatics made me replace the hardcoded "more" with using
the PAGER variable :-)

ISU has a 2nd generation OLC on the drawing board (coding board?)
which we expect DEC will have some interest in.
