Stu Downes: Blogging using Domino

Stu Downes has an interesting post on the upcoming blogging features of Notes/Domino 7.0.2 and some of the challenges for corporations and it-departments incl. points on Sametime integration, extensibility and security. An intesting read.

Notes/Domino 7.0.2 only a template release?

Watching the keynote from the Ireland Notes Usergroup 2006 via Google Video I stumbled upon something Ed Brill said in relation to the release Notes/Domino 7.0.2. What I heard was something like:

"...we're not touching the core code. This is all template work or install work. <snip/> It's not going to touch anything about nserver.exe, it's not going to touch anything about your address book, it's not going to touch anything about your replication. It's not going to touch anything about your users."

How can that be? Not all the 388 fixes listed on Lotus developerWorks are template related. Did I misunderstand what Ed said or were he simply wrong? Did he mean the added RSS functionality was orthogonal to the code? Hmmm...
