Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.
For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!
Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!
xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

My opinion on the current OpenNTF exchange
06/23/2009 07:18:41 PM by Chris Toohey
I haven't mentioned my opinion on the OpenNTF.org committees and other current initiatives... because (as a contributor and a project chef) I have yet to contribute in the publically-available forum nor did I participate in the open conference call wherein the steering committee had begged for (and continues to beg for) contributor and project chef feedback.
See, I didn't want to weigh in here on my blog due to the fact that the steering committee has made it a priority to establish feedback avenues where we could all share our thoughts, ideas, concerns, and frustrations.
I felt that taking the discussion out of those arenas and silo-ing it in my blog would do nothing to help the cause, but act to instead simply drive traffic to my site... and would quite frankly come across as self-centered and elitist.
I would instead recommend that you check out the OpenNTF Forum that's been setup to handle these discussions and share your opinions therein. And I would suggest that if you wish to bring to the attention the current ongoings with the community, that your blog post point your readership to the forum.
That way, you're not only helping the cause - or at the very least giving it a fair chance to be understood - but also giving your readership the opportunity to contribute their thoughts, ideas, concerns, and frustrations.
That is... unless you're not into giving your readers all of the facts in your blog posts and wouldn't want them to form their own opinions.






Agree but first impression is that it would help if you didn't need to log in to read the forum
Sean, agreed. It would also help if you didn't have to switch browsers to log in and use the forum (very little of the authenticated OpenNTF site works in Safari, despite repeated pleas for a fix).
Oh, and if the forum could be made tab-friendly that would be even better (OK, OK, I know I'm pushing it now :-D )
@Ben, we're working on the fixes to the discussion templates. Hopefully they'll be ready soon. As one of the leading contributors to those forums, I can assure you that no one feels the pain of those bugs more than me.
I just spent an hour writing a message in the forum but it failed to save. I tried to get interested in OpenNTF some years ago but the web site confused me and I could never get any traction. Just like today, it left me confused and demoralized.
Perhaps I'll try again in a few years ...
