Deutsche (German) Notes Users Group reports

November 18 2005

Some info coming out of this week's DNUG meeting:

Alexander Kluge says, "Lotus Notes / Domino is more alive than ever".  He talks about the Workplace Managed Client, the "Hannover" Notes release, and some other goodies.  He also links to a photo of Kevin Cavanaugh's presentation, with a picture of the Notes workspace rendered in the "Hannover" client.  Yes, the chicklets live on!

And vowe reports on the plan for supporting an Open Document Format export filter in Notes.

    I love Notes/Domino. It is a great product, but the discussion sometimes remind me of the movie "The Sixth Sence".

    As I am fall under hilarious wrong-doer category on vowes most important site of world enterprise computing, I have to comment here.

    1. It just can´t be too dificult (only lots of work) to create a xslt- stylesheet which converts dxl in MS-Office 2003 xml or in openOri - sorry I wanted to say openOffice format. If there are some people interested in such endeveour, I would participate in openSource ativity.

    2. Only people who suffer from serious psychological problems with which they think Microsoft stands for consider something a real standard, which isn't accepted by the most important vendor of the category the standard is designed for. As long as thats the case, openOffice standard is no real standard but a commitee standard.

    because they are better than bookmarks. It is easier to remember where things are on a 2 dimensional sheet than it is on a 1 dimensional list. Bookmarks were a retrograde step introduced to compete with web browsers which had a primitive user interface, but were rapidly becoming very popular. Browsers should have adopted the workspace concept rather than Notes adopting the bookmarks list. Tabbed workspaces add a third dimension to organise stuff in, but I wouldn't call it a 3d space, maybe 2.5d.
