Correction invited ... correction provided.

The message plain to anyone that reads it is that Tahiti is undergoing maintenance and will be back up on the 12th.

The Tahiti search engine had a major upgrade this year and the person that runs the group creating the docs, a friend of mine, has never given me any reason to believe that Tahiti was not the preferred search engine for OTN technical docs: In fact just the opposite.

Contact me off-line and I'll put you in touch with him directly if you would like.
