Is the lack of Java skills in the Notes/Domino developer community the Achilles' heel of IBM?
Yesterday Jack Dausman continued his discussion of the challenges facing the Notes/Domino developer with the move to the Eclipse framework (Open Innovation Trumps Monoculture Myopia). Looking at the situation Jacks conclusion is that an Eclipse based Notes client might not be so bad after all, though he concludes that the Notes/Domino developer community needs to skill-up for the transition.
After reading the post I started to comment since I very much feel the Notes/Domino developer community needs to skill-up and because I feel very strongly about this. The comment got so long that I moved it to my own blog.
