Here's a summary of recent goings on, plenty of new and interesting projects. Be sure to check out the updated projects list, personally I have been adding updates to the XPages wiki.

New Projects
Inking for IBM Lotus Sametime - This feature enables users to handwrite in the chat window and send it as picture to the chat partner. This feature is especially useful for tablet users or PDA users.
Domino Tabbed Table - Plugin to be able to render tabbed table correctly in every browser.
First Aid Kit Helpdesk - Help Desk application.
Recent Contacts for IBM Lotus Sametime - This Eclipse plugin is a Sametime extension for Notes embedded and standalone Sametime. It helps users to find recent contacts easily.
Bookmark Viewer for IBM Lotus Connections - The Bookmark Viewer allows replications from bookmarks from IBM Lotus Connections into the Notes client.
Location Tamer - This database was designed to manage locations documents. Then it morphed into an application to manage local replicas of the mailfile and cascaded address books..
LotusScript Gold Collection - Toolkit of reusable LotusScript libraries that can be included in your applications.
Driving directions for Google Maps - This Eclipse plugin allows Notes users to enter start and destination addresses in the Notes sidebar or preferences. From the sidebar users can then bring up the driving directions in the embedded browser showing the directions from Google Maps.
PPT2Web  - This generator allows the generation of a new Powerpoint slideset by selecting different slides from uploaded slidesets.
Sender Analytics  - This Eclipse plugin allows Notes users to find out more information about the senders of emails.

OpenNTF at UKLUG
OpenNTF Chairman Vince Schuurman and myself, Steve Castledine, will be in attendance at UKLUG in Edinburgh October 8th and 9th. As well as being available for general help, we will be doing a session on OpenNTF where we hope to cram as much useful information on OpenNTF past and present together with how we can help your organisation today in one hour as possible. We will be posting the slides here on that date. Fingers crossed get ready for some cool announcements.
