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.

IBM developerWorks introduces My developerWorks - Social Networking via Lotus Connections
04/30/2009 10:36:58 AM by Chris Toohey
Looks like the cat is now out of the bag! IBM and the IBM DWadvancedDesign team have been working on a new Lotus Connections offering, this time taking the collaborative abilities of IBM Lotus Connections to the community:
Welcome to a new way to connect and interact with your fellow developers. With My developerWorks, create your own personalized profile and custom home page (My Home) to get instant access to the people, feeds, tags, bookmarks, blogs, groups, forums, etc. that you care about.
This is not YACI, as IBM has both - as I'd mentioned - taken the social network to the community as well as shown how an active, existing, and feature-rich environment such as developerWorks can adopt Lotus Connections. So far, so good!
I was asked earlier in the month to preview My developerWorks, where I immediately setup my My developerWorks Profile and began to dive into the site.
The bad news? Yancy might be busy updating PlanetLotus.org with all of the newly launched Lotus-themed blogs!
I'm attempting to work with the DWadvancedDesign team to create a facility for existing bloggers to cross-post their content to a DW-based blog - allowing the existing blogger more exposure to the global Lotus Online Community beyond the yellow bubble while said blogger not having to do anything more than claiming their RSS feed. More on that when I have something to share!
Until then, check out My developerWorks, create your profile, and feel free to add me as a colleague/connection!
And if you don't have one already, this is the perfect excuse to start a weblog!

I saw this come across and took interest as they have created yet another Lotus Connections instance (my article here). Do you think these should be combined into a global, single infrastructure where everyone can share and be part? I am finding it hard for people to participate well in all of them.
Cool idea, but you would think hitting the "Edit my profile" link would actually do that, let you edit your profile, but instead we get, "Items displayed by public will display in your public profile. To update fields, visit IBM registration."
Couldn't/Shouldn't they have integrated the IBM registration part with My developerworks?
And, when I go to the IBM registration, the "Display Name" isn't there!
Finally, when I do edit my profile, on the other tabs, the return page is the My profile - it really should leave me where I was. Needs a bit of polish on the UI/integration.
I know - don't shoot the meseenger :-)
Connection sites tend to be slow on the Internet. That's a bit pity but we will see how this is going to work.
So I found my way here through Ed Brill's blog, where he mentioned that you had checked out My developerWorks.
Thanks for the writeup. It's important for us to see what folks think, and the best way is by reading stuff out in the blogosphere.
We would definitely like to work out something where users can either reference their pertinent work related external blogs within the My developerWorks environment, or perhaps cross post. So I'd be happy to chat more with you about that idea.
@Chris Miller, I'm going to trot over and read your post. The short answer is that the separate instance was to better service our community, which is mostly comprised of geeks.
@Joseph. I know I know. So not sure if you work for a large company with lots of hoops to jump thru or not. I happen to. So the deal with WI integration (IBM integration) is that it was plan A. We were not able to make it happen by the cutoff date. So it will happen in a subsequent release (in short order).
As for the display name, it is the scourge of our existence. Long story, with a history of over two years. The net is that there is an integration patch that will allow users to modify display name in a June/July release of the IBM integration piece.
I hear you on the UI storyboarding. Some of this is base LC behavior. We have to work thru it and will continue to iron it out.
Thanks for the feedback. Please let me know more. I'm 'brenny' on My developerWorks. The other place to put all this would be the Feedback group for My developerWorks.

@Henning. I hear that as well. We are having some challenges but are finding ways to work through it. Of course our advantage is that we have direct access to the Connections product development team. So please continue to tell us where you see performance issues.
