If all you have is a hammer ...
by Volker Weber
Joerg Michael did a good thing and set up a community blog for Notes and Domino. Now I read comments about he fact that it is not running on top of Domino.
I don't get it. How often does this community have to play catch up with the rest of the world and re-invent the wheel yet another time? There is plenty of community software out there — Joerg Michael chose Geeklog — it's free, and it can be hosted for a few bucks a month. And that includes all capabilities, user registration and so forth. Yes, one could license an IBM Lotus Domino Utility Server, re-write a lot of software and then come up "clean".
On the other hand the same people could come up with some interesting content.
Comments
As of April 21, 6 AM there were 9 comments on that entry. The only person that brought up ND6 was Alan Lepofsky (Senior Marketing Manager, Lotus) I don't think that constitutes "everybody is up in arms".
Tony, you are right. I read those comments in other places. Need to tone it down a bit.
Hey, and Buga has an account. Identity theft anyone?
No, apparently it's the "real" Buga, who can't quite give up his nom de plume even though it is known who he really is.
Note that -I- had no complaint about the underlying technology...
I did. :-)
Volker, already on the Buga Difino 'case' ;-). Also, Olaf Bjorklund can't be dead. He also signed up. So did Al Zollar. From the same IP address as Olaf. Within 10 minutes of Olaf. This crap is interesting ;-)
Tony: small correction: Alan Lepofsky did not bring up the issue. He just agreed with an anonymous comment.
Joerg, I know who Buga is but I am not saying.
Still working on Olaf. What I can say today without disclosing too much of my trail is that he lives somewhat more west than he is telling.
