Week numbers in Notes 8
by Volker Weber
A few weeks ago there was a discussion in the beta forum about a Notes 7 feature that went missing from Notes 8 beta: week numbers in the calendar. A few days later John Lance, the calendar designer, stated "Week numbers will not, unfortunately, be in Notes 8. We do realize how important they are, and we are working very, very hard to get them into the 8.01 release."
As I had learned (not from him) John Lance actually tried to tell development this feature was necessary about 6 months ago.
So I asked "Do you use week numbers?" Lots of good comments, then a poll which resulted in 69% saying they did indeed use them. Chris wrote a piece asking "Does Lotus have a death wish?"
As you can imagine, there was quite a flurry of emails going back and forth in IBM.
[Time passes]
Now, Ed Brill has good news.
[No, we can't do that with every feature you would like to have in Notes 8. The date for the ship party has already been set. It appears to be in August. :-)]
