  • Are the Symphony editors in the Notes 8 Standard client simply "nice to have", or is IBM aggressively pushing the Symphony product?
  • Is there better integration coming between Notes and Connections, especially as it relates to Activities?
  • Can we confirm or deny William Shatner as the opening session speaker at Lotusphere?
