Lotus Notes Goes Web 2.0

[HellasVagabond]

Lotus Notes client will integrate with the new range of Web 2.0 inspired technologies released with IBM's social software and it is expected to have a radically improved user interface built in the open source Eclipse framework. Connections is an integrated suite that pulls together Profiles, which is inspired by IBM's BluePages user directory Dogear, a bookmark-sharing application Activities, a sophisticated to-do list Communities, for pulling together groups of users; and Roller, an open source blog server developed within the Apache Software Foundation.[---]
It can be used as a Web-based portal, which sports a lot of Ajax rich client user experience. Lotus Software program director for social computing software Heidi Votaw said Lotus has been looking at Web 2.0 tools from different aspects to create models which can take advantage of protocols like Atom and RSS while adding the REST API is also being used to integrate Connections with BlackBerry which should make its way to early adopters this month. The Lotus Sametime Collaboration suite also includes integration with Cisco for IP telephony and with Radvision for videoconferencing.
IBM has saved about US$9.000.000 on telephony and $72.000.000 on travel by using its IP-based collaboration tools.

iNotes uses active X and is a pile of SHIT. may it ROT IN HELL. inotes for notes 5 doesn't work 90% of the time with windows 98+novell. Or IE5/6 for that matter.

inotes for notes 6.5 doesn't work with ie7 on vista PERIOD.

As someone that supports notes weekly at the moment.


:banghead:

I hope the new inotes doesn't suck. If they use ajax and apache, hopefully its done right.

Notes 6.5 is slow as hell on a 3ghz P4. The search locks up my machine, the archiving is bass ackwards, and is a PITA to install. :banghead:
