<description><![CDATA[Hi Jerry. In the future, if you have general questions about Notes, please post them in either the <br /><br /><a href="http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/">IBM developerWorks Lotus Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum</a> or <br /><br /><a href="http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf">IBM developerWorks Lotus Notes/Domino 8 Forum</a>. </br><br /><br />Your Lotus Notes client should have help files installed (press F1, or choose Help from the menus at the top), so you could search there for the term "Teamroom". Online, the help content is available <a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/notes/">here</a>. For example, here is the answer to your question. <a href="http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/7.0/help7_client.nsf/f4b82fbb75e942a6852566ac0037f284/58d6aea4bc3119948525704a004dbadb?OpenDocument">TeamRoom Main Document </a>.</br><br /><br />I hope this helps.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi, all.<br /><br />Question - is it possible to remove icons from left column in mail template for received mails ? Earlier in 6.x nad 7.x i have icon for sent mail and no icon for received so it was much cleaner which mails are received and which are sent. <br /><br />So how to modify icon column ? I tried with Designer editing this column but the script is unclear for me.<br /><br />As i know Lotus Team knows the problem that icons are too small and not enough different and promise to change that in 8.5, but maybe there are method before 8.5 ?<br /><br />thanks in advance for any comment.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@73<br /><br />Thanks for the comments Alan, I have just tested with a colleague who recieves the pop-up error "Cannot execute the specified command". He had 2 tabs open, his mail and the email he was composing. I asked him to do a Ctrl V and your right that worked. The strange thing was that after that, the toolbar button worked again.<br /><br />As they say in France... Tres Bizarre ! Forgoet ND8 Widgets... lets have ND Quirks !]]></description>

One of the most important things about Symphony is that developers can extend it amazing ways.<br /><br />For example, we have students at RIT who have just created Lotus Connections plugins for Symphony. This allows you to access blogs, profiles, activities, bookmarks, etc... all from within Symphony. It is very very cool. I don't know what the plan is to make such plugins public, but I will provide an update when I know.<br /><br />I'd love to see a HUGE catalog of extensions to Symphony, similar to all the addons for Firefox.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@1 and @2 - Symphony 1.0 is just the released version of what has been in beta (and inside the Notes client) for the past year. This is not a new code stream. <br /><br />Personally, after reading a bunch of the OpenOffice.org comments, I doubt there will ever be a complete move to the 2.x or 3.x code tree. I like that Symphony is different.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[or 1.1.4?<br /><br />As I see it Symphony is for people who want to do interesting stuff with the Eclipse container and also have an office suite in it. If you just want an office suite then OpenOffice.org is probably more compelling. Especially on Ubuntu with the OpenGL transitions in Impress. Well done to IBM for getting to a 1.0 release though. I hope that the 2.0 release is based on a new cut of the upstream code and complies with the LGPL (1.1.4 was the last version under SISL as well as LGPL)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure this is a fair comparison. What are all the things you are hooking into the MacBook Air? I understand the optical drive, assuming you don't have another computer in the building whose CD tray is available to take advantage of the MacBook's disk sharing feature. But what else is he hooking up there? A mouse? The MacBook ships with the as much a mouse as the Lenovo has.... namely, none. A trackpad that you can right click on using two fingers. What else is hooked in there? A printer cable? A phone data cable? Do you mean to suggest that the Lenovo has a printer and a phone built in? If not, why don't you hook all those cables to the Lenovo and shove it back in the envelope? But what's the point anyhow when you can use Bluetooth or network printing via 802.11 and Bluetooth for data syncing? Really seems like you are loading the comparison unfairly.]]></description>
