developerWorks article Finding available time in IBM Lotus Notes V8 using the Scheduler UI (by Bill Le 14 Aug 2007): IBM Lotus Notes V8 greatly improves the user experience, including its enhancements to the free-time lookup feature on the meeting invitation. Lotus Notes V8 lets users select subsets of participants, thereby allowing them to focus on the invitees who are most important or critical to the meeting. In this way, the Scheduler UI helps to speed up the search process for available time. Even more convenient ly, Lotus Notes V8 allows the user to right-click on one or more active names and to perform a Find Available Time search to quickly find the next time that person is available to meet.
developerWorks article Enabling calendar ghosting in IBM Lotus Notes V8 (by Bill Le 12 Jun 2007): Calendar ghosting is an exciting new feature that extends a user’s ability to manage unprocessed meeting notices in IBM Lotus Notes V8. In version 7.0.x and prior releases of Lotus Notes, users needed to open unprocessed calendar notices such as meeting invitations or reschedule notices from their inbox in order to respond. The inbox can be flooded with hundreds of email messages daily, and as a result, users may miss some meeting invitations or reschedule notices. To solve this problem and to provide more flexibility, Lotus Notes V8 allows unprocessed meeting invitations and reschedule notices to show up directly on a user’s calendar. Users conveniently can act on these invitations and reschedule notices as if they are in the inbox. Because the notices are not processed, but show up on the calendar, they are called ghosts. Ghosts do not book busy time.
