VSI lately published a "VMS Software Inc. OpenVMS Customer Technical
Support Bulletin" that contained the following text :

_________________________________________
Knowledge Management Repository
A searchable indexed Knowledge Management repository of HPE and VSI
knowledge is currently under construction. Access to the knowledge
database access will be available to VSI direct support customers in Q3
2019. Hundreds of articles from VSI and HPE will be available at launch
in Q3. There are over 18000 additional articles loaded that require
vetting and will be available in the knowledge base over time.

I sure hope that the "Ask the wizard" material fill find its way in
there...
