• The Trump Medal for Most Inappropriate Empire Building
• The Deng Xiao Peng Memorial Spittoon for Services to Democracy
• The Marie Antoinette Memorial Cake for Most Patronising Attitude

There are a bunch of different tips useful for those navigating around Business Objects. There’s also a blog, which I’ll be adding to the list of other blogs we like.

Personally, whenever I’m confronted with a new technology and I’m trying to get my head around it, there is nothing more valuable than advice from someone else who has been in your position and had to try to figure stuff out. With the best will in the world, vendor user guides, by their very nature, are broad-ranging and general, whereas user generated content can – and generally does – focus on the issues that crop up commonly and deal with them in greater detail.
So the question remains: which of you is going to set up smisuitetips.com?
