Discussion Add On: Publish Documents to Discussion Applications

Category

As part of the discussion template next generation project I've created another prototype. This prototype is not a core feature of the template but rather a global add on to Lotus Notes.

The add on allows easy publications of any Notes documents to discussion applications via one click on a new toolbar icon. So Notes users can now easily share information with their colleagues or other external people.

Technically I've implemented this add on as Eclipse plugins using the Notes Java backend APIs as well as the new Java UI APIs that come with Lotus Notes 8.5.1.

This video describes the new user interface.



P.S.
If you missed it, we've published the first version of the template and you can download it now from here. This first version comes with an improved rich client user interface which is consistent to other Notes 8 style applications.

Same general idea, different implementations. The use of the user profiles is a nice touch ,as it the use of the split button.
I could see a version/extension of this being used as a foil against the "shared folders" of a competing mail server product.

Gravatar Image2 - Wayne, looks indeed similar. The nice thing about doing this in Eclipse is that you don't have to touch the mail template and it works for other Notes documents as well.

Gravatar Image3 - mmm I like messing with the mail template...

I beginning to see the possibilities and flexibility with these Eclipse plugins - adding functionality to all Notes databases from one place.

Gravatar Image6 - good stuff, I wonder allthough if it will be possible to distribute these preference buttons to the client.

are you also thinking about importing techniques for existing discussion databases , for example domBulletin to import documents from such a resource into a the new discussion database (maintaining the parent - response structure) ?
