Bootstrapping The Domino Errors Database

For years and years there's been a database called errors.nsf on this server. It's called the Domino Errors Database and it has slowly built in to a record of general Notes-based errors and various suggested solutions.

Until recently it was an embarrassment to have flying under the codestore banner. Badly, badly designed and lacking in functionality: no search, no view navigation etc.

So, I've "bootstrapped" it (click the image below to go there and see):

It still needs some work but it's way way better than before.

Most importantly it need a little data cleansing now. I didn't think it through properly when I first put it out there and so the data is often lacking and confusing.

I know what you're thinking though -- what's the point? This is about 8 years too late! Why flog a dead horse!?

Well, part the reason I did it was as another proof of how great Bootstrap is. This time on a real live database. More on Bootstrap and LESS CSS next week!

    Looks great!

    However it looks like you're leaking users' email addresses

    1. How so?

    Nice work Jake, I 'm still using your old db. Where can I download the new one :)

    1. Are you talking about the "dext" database? That's next in line to get bootstrapped and a new downloadable version of it will follow (give me a couple of weeks).
