Intranet Journal: Building an Intranet with Lotus Database Templates
Longtime blogger ChrisToohey has written a series ofarticles for Intranet Journal. Today's article examines the threemain out-of-the-box templates in Domino -- discussion, document library,teamroom. I know that tons of Notes applications have been createdwith or based on these templates, but I also feel that they are often overlookedfor their power. Doclib, for example, has some great Microsoft Officeintegration, plus revision tracking (I remember all the early Notes appsI used seemed fixated on revision tracking). The discussion templatehas subscription/newsletter options, so you don't have to keep checkingfor new content. And Teamroom has some very slick projecttracking capabilites built right in,The out-of-the-box templates are a greatreminder of why Notes is a collaboration platform, not just a mail systemwith bolt-ons for workflow or other integration. I'd hazard a guessthat these templates themselves are delivering a lot of the collaborationand knowledge value inside Notes organizations today.Link: IntranetJournal: Building an Intranet with Lotus database templates>
