Beyond The Yellow Bubble

For those of you that have found the code contained within the .Domino Framework usefull, the following is a brief roadmap for the project.

July 2008: Beta 0.6 is planned as the last public beta for the framework.   No major enhancements are planned.  The focus will be on testing and documenting the existing content as well as filling in some of the gaps.

August 2008:  Version 1.0 should be released.  As stated previously, this first release will support Notes 6.0+ client application development on a Windows platform.

September 2008-December 2008: Version 1.1 is planned as the first release in which development feature found in versions of Notes 6.5,  7.0, 8.0, 8.0.1, and 8.0.2 are implemented. 

Note: There are no plans at this time to develop functionality for Notes 8.5 into the framework because the .Domino Framework is largely Notes client based using LotusScript code and there is very little in Notes 8.5 for Notes client development (outside of being able to set the system date/time!).  I do hope to extend the framework in 2009 to include Web development components and possibly some Java components.

I encourage anyone who has any feedback or ideas on the framework to contact me directly or via the OpenNTF project.  I am especially interested in ways in which the framework can be adapted to make your life as a Notes developer easier.
