My thoughts on the Domino 7 Live event here this morning


Tags :


This was basically broke into 4 increments.  The first hour covered the basic enhancements in the Notes client and some new features of the Extended Product family.   All material you can find published for some time now.

  But in watching the inbox grow with clutter, and I do not need email clutter, there is something else needed.

See previously everyone complained that Notes was not like Outlook with all the bells and whistles.  Unfortunately there are too many now.
  • awareness icons
  • reply indicators
  • forward indicators
  • message recipient indicators
  • follow-up flags in varying colors
  • priority indicators
  • mood stamps
  • yes there is a few more
What I am getting at is now the end users need a pop-up legend for icons and colors.  Just like the IM list pops into a new window the end users are now overwhelmed with little colors, icons and doohickeys


The second hour was on the enhancements in the Administrator client and performance.  One ScreenCam for DDM and a whole lot of slides on performance testing that has been done.  Then a few on the new load tools available.  There could have been much more to this section.

The third was on the Designer client so I drifted away mentally and snuck out before the final session on ISSL trying to say how they can assist you in migrating.  Kind of backwards since they show how easy and compatible Domino 7 is, who would need the help?
