Bruce and Julian had the opportunity to
talk to Ed
Brill (Worldwide Sales Manager
for Lotus Notes/Domino) and Dwight Morse (Lotus Notes Product Manager)
about changes and new features in the recent Notes
8.0.2 release. We also got
to discuss a few "future directions" sort of things. Talking
points included:
- Do we have any numbers yet on how many
companies have upgraded to Notes 8 so far? How about customer
references?
- Is Lotus comfortable with the 8.0.2
startup speed and smaller memory footprint, or will it continue to improve?
- What's the big deal about the new INI
parameter that controls whether the client opens in Basic or Standard mode?
- 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?
And
certainly, much much more. Also be sure to check out Dwight Morse speaking
about Notes 8 on the Ziff
Davis Innovations podcast.

Bruce and Julian got a chance to talk to
Mikkel
Heisterberg about his new
"TwitNotes"
sidebar plugin for Notes 8, that allows you to access Twitter directly
from the Lotus Notes client. We talked about things like:
- Where did the idea for this come from?
- How hard (or easy) is it to develop
sidebar plugins for Notes 8?
- What tools do you need to get started?
- The plugin is free, but is it open source?
- Is this just one more example of how
important Java is for Notes developers now?
