October 2006
Do you have any questions you'd like to
ask Mike Rhodin? (for clarification, we're talking about the Mike Rhodin
who is IBM General Manager for Workplace, Portal and Collaboration Software...
not some other Mike Rhodin we're trying to trick you with)
Your lovely hosts here at the TakingNotes
podcast may have the opportunity to interview Mr. Rhodin in the coming
weeks, and we'd like some help with topics of discussion. We won't guarantee
anything, but we know that all of your ideas are good ones.
Leave us a comment or send
us an e-mail.

Today, Bruce and Julian talk mainly about
the new 7.0.2
release of Lotus Notes/Domino.
It officially came out on Friday, September 29, and it includes such features
as:
- New "Blue" templates for blogging
and RSS feed generation (note that the templates are available on the server
upgrade, not the client)
- Support for installing and running the
Lotus Notes client on a USB drive (Nomad) -- Chris
Whisonant has some install
instructions (but be aware that there can be huge
speed differences between
different USB drives, so choose wisely)
- Native iCal import capabilities
- "Run As Admin" for Smart Upgrade
- Automatic conversion (on the server)
for TNEF/Winmail.dat attachments from Exchange users
- Domino Web Access (iNotes) is supported
on Firefox on the Mac
- New C-API functions for HTML and MIME
- Server support for Novell SUSE Linux
10 and Windows x64 server
- Lotus Notes Access for SAP included
- DXL improvements
We
also got a chance to talk to Steve Castledine about his "IBM Blog"
template, to get the inside scoop. We talk about things like:
- What was involved in transitioning from
"Steve's template" to "IBM's template"? (see this
technote for more details)
- What's the upgrade path for users of
the old template?
- How is comment spam dealt with?
- How do we get started using it?
- What's next?
In
other news, OpenNTF
will be at Lotusphere
2007 pedestal 324 in the Product
Showcase, Chris
Miller makes peace with iTunes
and Feedburner, an OpenNTF update with John
Roling, and a one minute tip
about CGI variables by Mac
Guidera.
The podcast is 26mb and runs 54:31 at 64kps (variable bit rate).
