One of the best things about Notes 8 and above is the ability to customize it through plug-ins. I can add widgets to my sidebar that help me to work more efficiently. I've got widgets for Twitter, Q

Yet again, the Innovations lab, and the breakout session given by Irene Greif and David Millen showed off some of the ideas and research efforts from IBM's Centre for Social Software.
Historically, there's been a strong track record where items shown here would eventually appear as part of Lotus products later, so it's always fascinating to go and see what's on show.
Very cool projects Among the more than 20 projects on show was Concord, slated to be available in LotusLive labs this year. It will offer cloud-based collaborative document editing functions, letting teams work simultaneously on the same document, with each participant's work being seen as it happens.
In the vein of shared editing, Planet showed how Lotus Connection activity content can be visualised and edited in a calendar-based paradigm by more than one person at a time, while Workboard showed a different way to visualise team and project issues and work with them.
Visualizing text showed how the data analytics of ManyEyes -- itself first seen in the Innovation lab a couple of years back -- can be used to analyse blocks of text in various ways. The demo showed how legislative bills can be analysed to highlight pieces that are out of context, for example.
Then there was a project looking at the mail triage process that many smartphone users do already. I know I do. I'll often preview email on my Blackberry, delete some, answer quick questions and then remark unread those items that I want to handle later. The project showed a model of how that might be supported on an iPhone.
Agora came back as Agora Next, adding the ability to search and tag recorded meetings, and able to collaborate around snippets from those recordings.
Most intriguing, to me as writer and blogger, was Blog Muse. Blog Muse adds huge power to the collaborative value of Lotus Connections blogs. It offers a mechanism for blog readers to ask for subjects to be covered, and for bloggers to search for potential blog subjects from the requests made -- all to help stimulate greater engagement with the blogging process and improve in-company collaboration and expertise spreading.
Next up: Sametime, Quickr, and Symphony updates.

I propose to add this possibility for element "Database Script" (tick "Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify"), as well as the full inheritance of "Shared Actions" ( Link ).

After my recent venture to the twilight zone of bandwidth hell, if the admin client would provide a timeline to show how long till done creating an ID/mailbox I could have saved everyone a lot of time and money.
Sure, normally this is quick, but not if you are doing a 100 users remotely from one server to another.
There is really no reason to ask for traveler to be set as a homepage and cause havoc on existing installations and destroy mailjump/dwa redirection.
I know the option shows up in the install, but given how few people read warnings, then have support calls because of it and the notes.ini setting which continues to force it, just stop doing it at all.
A nice reminder at the end of how to find the link is all anyone needs.
OR auto create a web redirect so anyone going to server/traveler goes to the right place.
1. When you create a design appears a dialogue with the three fields: Name, Alias, Comment. When renaming - a dialogue with one field: Name. Please do that flew dialogue similar creation. 2. In the right window (in the list of elements) in the context menu to add an item Rename.
Hot-Rename the design elements that contain aliases, it is dangerous that if the name of the element of design is a space, then all that is after the first space, goes into alias, so the current alias overwritten. 3. Return the window properties for Alt+Enter, with which you can rename a design element from the inside. Let there be two alternatives for working with properties. If you rename the library using the context menu (outside), even after RALS when handling of the library, from causing its design elements, sometimes appears error uselsx...
A version of this has come up before, but I have a specific user case for implementation.
If the user has a set of numbers or dates to enter, they are unable to use the enter key on the numeric key pad.
This is especially noticable when the CFO is using his/her specially bought external keypad for his/her laptop to "speed up" numeric entry.
It's also an issue where the user has several other programs that allow this behaviour and are then stymied when they have to data entry in a Notes application.
Include a check box "Allow Enter key for Field Exit" and attach to edit boxes and date fields. It would vastly improve the user experience.
Using ST client for a some time I think that it would be nice in some cases to have kind of Push-To-Talk function. I.e. to send short voice announcement to a specific user or group without having to wait user to answer. Sure, we have to deal with statuses, rules and many other things.. What do you think?
There is a technote, http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21260359, which says Domino will recognize any user with a forwarding address as not using their calendar.
That's great, very nice.
However, in a mixed shop of Notes, Gmail, Exchange et al and when you are running DDm and monitoring notifications, every time the server starts up these errors propogate countless notificaitons....for no reason.
Please IBM recognize people need to use forwarding for a reason and stop the issuance of these error notifications like the one below:
SchedMgr: Error processing calendar profile document (NoteID: NT000010EA) in database mail\username.nsf: User's mail is being forwarded to another location
Or if someone has a simple way to fix this let me know.
