Business Week is looking at the world of Wiki’s with an interesting article of how a Wiki’s are starting to find their way into large companies  and that “They’ve become a cheaper, more flexible collaboration alternative to both overtaxed e-mail and complex groupware such as IBM’s Lotus Notes.”

With Wiki software readily available for free on that will run on Domino we can easily see how Lotus Notes will always have the upper hand. It can take on the challenge of the new ‘social’ software era with ease. With templates for blogging, wiki’s and the ability to add RSS feeds to a lot of application lotus Notes can be quickly extended to provide the features in other software packages without the cost.

So what’s next for social software…  PodCasting seems to be making waves in some circles… Who’s going to PodCast at Lotusphere this year

One of the other notes admins ( Thanks Kev ) where I work was troubleshooting an archiving problem and came across an interesting limitation.  The user was selecting documents and using the ‘Archive Selected Documents’ option and coming up with with an error ‘Archive Operation Failed’

It turned out that the user had selected over 4000 documents for archiving and that this was well above the limit that Domino could handle for that operation. We are currently trying to find the exact number at which the limit kicks in but it’s somewhere between 2000 and 2050.

Maybe it’s time for a new limit to be added to this document that lists all of the known limits in Domino.

Update : Looks like 2047 is the magic number.  Just have to confirm it on another set of documents.
