Today in the Lotusphere Opening General
Session Alistair Rennie announced the winner of the Lotus Awards category
'Best Open Source Contribution by an Individual' - File
Navigator from Rene Winkelmeyer.
File Navigator is a multi platform file
navigator widget running inside the Lotus Notes sidebar. Lotus Notes users
can detach files easily from Notes documents, and this includes full emails
that are stored as EML on disk. Vice versa, files can be attached to Notes
documents via drag and drop. Various user preferences allow the customization
of the drives and directories that are displayed and these preferences
are manageable via policies. Technically File Navigator is an Eclipse plugin
leveraging Lotus Notes extension points.
In the spirit of open source Rene Winkelmeyer
took the starting point of his project from other OpenNTF contributors
and extended it in many ways, e.g. network shares, user preferences, policies,
different languages, EML support, etc. He's implemented many feature requests
from the OpenNTF community and made File Navigator the most active OpenNTF
project in 2009.
The other two finalists were xTalk
Discussion Forums from Declan
Lynch and Snippets
from Detlev Poettgen.
