Chris reviews Notes/Domino 6.5 in e-Pro Magazine
Now, Chris himself would be too modest to
link to this (I think), but all's fair in love and blogjacking....
The September, 2003, issue of e-Pro magazine
arrived on my desktop via Zinio yestrerday. It includes Chris's
review of Notes/Domino 6.5 (must
be an e-Pro subscriber to access link, but geez, subscribing is free so
what are you waiting for?!?!?!). He's written about a feature that
he introduced to me as well -- sometimes even being on the inside isn't
enough to know about all the cool stuff going into a new release:
For example, when you
wish to send an instant message, you can click the new toolbar icon (and
here comes the cool part). A pop-up box appears that lets you type the
name of the person to whom you want to send an instant message. I love
that feature! I can quickly type a first, last, or partial name of someone,
and Notes displays either a list of people who match or an automatic IM
with the only available selection. For example, type Dave here at our office,
and you get five billion optional names it seems. But Notes 6.5 will read
the other aliases in the fullname field (as of this writing).
The review is timely as it's just a couple
of weeks before Notes/Domino 6.5 goes "gold". There are
about 15 new features in the Notes client, new platform support for the
Domino server (zSeries Linux), and a huge amount of improvements with Domino
Web Access, including Linux client support. The gap between Domino
Web Access and the Notes client for mail and calendaring is now getting
very, very small. Check the release out at lotus.com.
