For that, the leaderboards would have to be reliable.
lol - for all the wrong reasons!!!
(Very short) manifesto against fragile software / hardware marketing:
Working software / hardware over marketing slogans.
That is, while there is (some) value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left (much) more.
Notes:
1. I wrote the above text as proof that we, software / hardware engineers, can also write slogans. But, it is much harder to write a code, especially the one that is correct.
2. I know the term "fragile marketing" (already) exists, with meaning that is not (completely) the same as the one I used above.
Agile Manifesto
I also thought Dane.
I am honored to be an exception, especially as it started with my size ten foot in mouth....
Just found here the following:

Jump to 41:05, do we all need some kind of superhero costumes now ;-))
Perhaps that's meant by

Witness last week's fiasco with the inbox and other feeds, on both OTN an MOSC.
The interface at OraFAQ may be clunky, but it is rock solid. Can't remember ever having an issue there.
Kind of reminds me of an episode of 'Car Talk'. One of the brothers (I can't remember which) made the comment that it took the Japanese auto manufacturers to show the American manufacturers how to build quality into a car. The other brother replied that no, the Japanese only showed the Americans that it could be done. The Americans still refused to learn. (that was particularly interesting to me because at the time I was working at a US assembly plant for a Japanese auto company).
So, in the same vein, OraFAQ has shown that a reliable, stable, and popular product forum can be created - and without a rewards/gamification/social media slant, to boot.. But Oracle hasn't learned the lesson.
Okay that is so ugly my eyes are now bleeding BUT - it runs fast, it does not freeze on a page, it has not told me that it is not currently available for the 2nd time as many days - in short - I have to agree with you, why can't Oracle do that?
Because it is not eating its own dog food.
"Ask Tom" on Apex used to be okay for me....
Yes, several people have suggested using APEX (and even volunteering to do it IIRC). Asktom originally was very hierarchical - Tom's baby, even - I'm glad to see the way it got distributed. I also still like how you can follow threads for years, though I wish I could come up with some suggestion to notate version specificity and deprecation issues.
Here we have a much more network organization (and I mean that in the database sense of many people contributing in an egalitarian manner). There is much hazy in the actual goals of the site. Us techies want it to be an interactive knowledge base that can serve both newbies and and advanced issues. Oracle wants... what, marketing? Cheerleading? Free work? We can guess that Jive wants an income stream and perhaps an exit strategy.
Why evaluate? We had a reorganization of different computing centres into one. Since the powers to be said that it will be a success it had to be a success. If you evaluate it afterwards you might find that people are not happy because of latencies, poor support, etc. Therefore no one will ask.
Login at Ask TOM is not trivial
Now open a linked page (same page or a new tab) -> not logged in
Not been there for a while.... perhaps I remembered it better than it was.... or it used to be better?!
I go there almost daily to read new posts.
It is still very good to find answers, yet the procedure sometimes deters me from adding a comment
I think there's a space around here somewhere to make comments about asktom. You can contact those guys directly, too, through several means.
