Add A More Detailed Index To Designer Help

: Lotus Technical Information / Domino Designer
: designer, help
The biggest thing I miss with the new Eclipse help for Domino Designer is the presence of a detailed index that includes all the classes, methods, properties etc that are contained in the various languages.  I keep using the original NSF help because of this one feature.   Being able to ...

E-mail notifications to wiki article authors when comments posted

: Lotus Technical Information / Product Wiki Design
: wikis
Authors of wiki articles can overlook comments, especially if they aren't made at the time the articles are posted. I'd like wiki authors to be able to  sign up to receive email notifications when comments are made to their articles.

Need IBM provided URL shortening function

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: url, tinyurl, shortening
With the increasing popularity of microblogging ("Twitter"), messaging and other opportunities to share links, many IBMers are using URL shortening utilities provided by third-party vendors such as tinyurl.com and bit.ly.  These are not owned by IBM and if the terms of using their service are unfavorable, or if the URL ...

Create a Redbook on Domino Development Best Practices

: Lotus Technical Information / Domino Designer
: domino, redbook
This would cover everything needed to build application regardless of client and general practices to make development easier, less buggy and easy to support changes.
 
It would Cover:
 
  • The best way to setup development environments for single or team developers.
  • Using dev, ua and prod server

Make one place for all Lotus information and discussions

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: forums, wikis, devworks
Currently there is greenhouse.lotus.com, DeveloperWorks, lotuslive, openntf, the notes forums and more. I would like to see the forums, wikis, articles, technotes and blogs all moved into to one site that supported activities, sametime and files.
 
You should be able to search across all of it and have a portal ...

Object Model Maps

: Lotus Technical Information / Domino Designer
: object model diagrams
I think it would be extremely helpful if IBM produced full-color object model diagrams / maps for Release 8.0 and 8.5 given that the diagrams were last updated in R6.5 and were available in PDF format.  Having a visual represenation of the objects that are available is really useful when ...

Wiki Outline (for any IBM wiki) should start with a TOC or Outline provided by IBM

: Lotus Technical Information / Product Wiki Design
: wiki, lotus notes
Part of the value of a redbook has always been the organization and flow of the material.  The team writing the redbook would know the content they needed to produce and would provide an organization structure for how they would proceed through the material.
 
If there's a Lotus Domino ...

IBM should automatically notify customers when SPR's are fixed.

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: spr, pmr, support
Currently you have no way of knowing when or if an SPR gets fixed. IBM has all the contact information for the person who submitted the report, so they should automatically e-mail that person when the SPR is fixed.
 
This may be offered via Premium Support. I contend that customers should ...

Presentation Skills Training

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: training, presentation, presentations
February would be a good month for a "Presentation Skills" training class, delivered virtually. This session, or a few sessions, would assist new, experienced, and potential Lotus Community speakers to learn how to deliver effective presentations.
 
Lotus User Groups, looking for potential speakers, would know that by contacting a ...

Documentation should be tailored to the different ways that people learn, based on their age/experience/preferences

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: documentation, technical_documentation
I know that different people learn in different ways. I won't start on a new technology, eg Dojo, without having read an O'Reilly book cover to cover. I see other people who Google for a bit and start writing code I know that I can tell a person's age by ...

Implement discussion pages on the Lotus wikis

: Lotus Technical Information / Product Wiki Design
: talk, discussion, talk page, discussion page
Implement discussion pages on Lotus wikis, and go one step further: make live chat available on the discussion page, allowing for real-time collaboration on wiki content. For an example of a discussion page, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture. And to see how discussion pages work on Wikipedia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page

Reward top contributors with their own wiki page

: Lotus Technical Information / Product Wiki Design
: wiki, rewards
On the Lotus ID wikis, give top non-IBM contributors their own personal wiki page. They can use the page for almost anything they want... as a contact page, an online brochure for their company and their products, a company announcement page, or whatever. Contribution can be measured by number of ...

List the authors of the product documentation in the information center

: Lotus Technical Information / Other
: author, community, product documentation
Have you ever wondered who wrote the product documentation? Would you like to see their names on topics in the information center? This would help you see who in the community, contributing on developerWorks and the wikis, is also a writer of the product documentation.

Decs, DCR LEI Redbook

: Lotus Technical Information / Other

This area needs to be updated and expanded with more examples. No access examples!  DB2, Oracle, or SQL should be used.

: Lotus Technical Information / Other

This idea has to do with education and CLP certifications, but there is no such category.  So first, I recommend adding the category.
 
Next, I want to recommend to IBM to add a certification test module (and training modules as appropriate)to the CLP certifications for performing migrations from various ...

The idea lnked to below is requesting more screenshots as well as sample task-flows.  I'd like to see the level of interest specifically in more screenshots, so I'm adding this as a separate topic.  Thanks for your feedback.

Language-specific Product Support WikisView Linked Idea

: Lotus Technical Information / Portal/Portal Express
: community, support, nls, wiki
Create language-specific product support wikis off of the main (English) wikis and let the native language communities grow the content. The wikis should be 'seeded' with the most basic outline already provided in the native language and then customers, consumers and interested IBM/Lotus sales, support and development personnel can translate existing content into there, write ...
