Thanks John! Appreciate it.. Just a query, How to handle the failure or exceptions during the windows process. I have a lotus script code following and relying on this process. The lotus script code must run only if the process was successful (Eg: Backing up a file using windows process and then executing my lotus script, If backing up fails for any reason, i dont want my lotus script to run).

is there a way around it?

In our circumstance, it works fine with our own personal mail database. However, we have team accounts, & when replying from one of those databases, the team account is always included.

I tried to add the team account to the "Internet mail address" in the location settings, but I didn't seem to be able to have more than one address

Hi John,

I am so glad that there are other people out there that think the same sort of things as I do.

We have seen some many products that get hyped and pushed and then quietly droped.

I recall there was (i forget its name) the Notes web shop, a series of Notes databases where you could build your own web store. Its work great in small deployments but as soon

This is a tough one for all of us who have lived through IBM products like Workplace, Discovery Server, etc. that were going to be the next big thing but didn't get off the ground. I think the problem that IBM has with Connections right now, is like Lotus had with Notes in the '90s: they can't explain what it is (outside of the nondescript label of "social software for

The hype vs. the reality. I think it will be a little of both. I think there will be pieces that fit, and some that won't. Domino/Notes/the features in Engage work. A lot of the Connections features are cool, but I'm just not sure how you would integrate all that into a SMB.

I think the real power of this stuff is plugging into a business process to enhance it, not

Hello Gentlemen,

Thanks for this great discussion!

Maybe I missed the point (I really hope so :-)). I'm asking myself, what's the benefit in using the Browser Plug-In if I need to install the client on my machine before?

Will it once work as a "self-installing" plug-in, that anybody can use without installing the full-client? Is it intended to

Once you have started the webbrowser you now have the choice between a) a platform designed to display hypertext documents and b) a platform designed to run collaborative business applications. Users will notice the difference.

So here's the thing: there are a lot of big shops that have moved to Exchange but still do have Notes/Domino apps as long as a decade afterward. There are a lot of big shops that have gone to iNotes for mail because they want to get rid of the fat client, but they still have lots of little groups

Unknown, yeah we're on different sides of the coin.

It kind of reminds me of DAMO, the Microsoft Outlook access for Domino, I saw that as a perfect tool to help people move away from Domino, by aloowing them to get rid of the Notes client, and migrate to the Exchange backend at their own speed, without the cries of I hate notes from the end users. Others saw it as a great way of

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 05:04:12 +0000

I see it differently from Carl. I see the plugin as the way to keep customers from migrating away from Notes. I see it playing out this way... *Phase 1* Customer: "Our apps are old and ugly, and we don't want a thick client." IBM Champion: "Migration is going to take time and it's going to cost you a lot of money." Customer: "We know, but we we're

noreply@blogger.com (IdoNotes) — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 03:22:30 +0000

You also need to account for moving users back and forth between the plugin and iNotes. The look and feel as well as fluidity will make an impact.

One word: UGLY.
Making things beautiful is a multi-billion dollar industry. Ignoring the need for beauty is the fastest way out. And then there are iPad, Smartphone, Mac, Linux... all won't run the browser plug-in.

I had a similar thought back after Lotusphere 2012. This is what I wrote on my blog at the time:
"Biggest cheer of the OGS, the Notes plug-in for browsers. Details are sketchy right now, but basically you'll have the equivalent of 90% of the Notes Basic client able to run inside a windows browser. So how do I think this will be used? My gut is this will be used as a migration
