Make it a habbit to use that by default and only use "union" if needed.</p>AndersTue, 20 Jun 2006 12:22:55 -0000http://awads.disqus.com/search_oracle_documentation_google_style/#comment-3658701<p>Ehm, check <a href="http://download.oracle.com/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">http://download.oracle.com/robots.txt</a> .

I think a qualitative outreach project might be a better idea. It would be kind of like the "Tech Evangelism" project, that was directed at websites. But this would be directed at moving the web off IE6 (and thereby upgrading the web). The focus would not be Firefox. Any browser will do, yes, even IE.<br><br>The first task would be to find the major reasons for not switching. Here the bloggers could help by identifying IE6 users.<br>- If an IE6-user comes to a blog, and a company can be identified, e.g. from the IP-address or the user agent, that company might be contacted in a coordinated, constructive manner to figure out why they have not switched.<br>- If the IE6-user leaves a email-address, e.g. with comment, that user might be contacted personally (no spam).<br>- If a IE6-user comes to the site he/she might be given a survey (in a friendly tone, not a nag screen) to figure out why they have not upgraded, or they might be dropped diretly into a chat with a real living person.<br><br>Some interesting statistics might be, if most IE6 users are from companies (and if so which). If they are from specific countries, and if so, which. Or are all the IE6-users really just spam address harvesters made to look like real users as to not be detected?<br><br>The second phase would be to address the major reasons for not switching found from the research (leaving the guess work and superstitions behind). It would probably again require mobilizing a lot of people to contact local businesses and helping them with their pain points or just making them aware. It might also require making an official mozilla msi-package part of the normal release process.AndersThu, 24 Sep 2009 17:46:51 -0000
