What Features do you want added to Bleed Yellow?

Thank you to those who have already started participating in BleedYellow .com. We have over 250 registrations and thousands of hits in just 2.5 days. Wow! This is a great opportunity to start a blog and gain visibility from the community. As of today, we are announcing an initiative that will allow Domino developers to build applications that integrate with BleedYellow.com or your own Lotus Connections implementation. So, I'd like to know... What other features you want to see added to BleedYellow.com? With this community, the sky is the limit. Share your ideas and let's start collaborating and building this community together.

1 Daniele Vistalli      Permalink I've already integrated my BleedYellow Javlin card into my blog at www.vistalli.it and it's working fine.

About more features....

- Well, one for all... OpenID registration/login. I've begun working on some experiment to have OpenID process work with domino.

- Second: profile extensions like links/fields to integrate multiple IM awareness / Flickr/Picasa/Facebook urls (or even galleries).

- A forum "section" maybe based on openntf templates.

- Some "poll" functionality to be integrated into blogs

- Explicit rating for all the modules: a star based rating system (like itunes) that can be used to decorate any connections item (activity, blog post/comment, dogear or community) this would add to implicit rating (aging/referrals) with an "explicit" voting system. The challenge will be to be able to filter using "connections" (product) fields AND extra rating.

That should be enough for a start.

2 Daniele Vistalli      Permalink One more thing...

I run YSlow against bleedyellow.com ... There's a lot that can be done to improve performance... GZIP compression of JS files. Expires header for static images.

At this time the performace is good... but traffic is going to increase. Let's plan ahead

3 Scott Hooks      Permalink Great ideas Daniele. Interested in writing any of that if I gave you a Notes ID to the integrated Domino server and an API to do it?

4 Chris Whisonant      Permalink Daniele, thanks for the great feedback! The performance aspect is definitely something that we will be monitoring and tweaking. Thanks for the comment that performance is good right now.

I've heard that forums are planned for possibly the 2.0 release of Connections.

As far as other things needed, here are some things you and I have discussed Scott (good to have it written down...)

- Reverse commenting in blogs. The comments appear with the newest listed as #1. I've briefly looked into this.
- Presence awareness. May have to do the port 15 hack. ;)

5 Daniele Vistalli      Permalink All those ideas come from the work I'm doing myself around connections.

The OpenID thing is very interesting in terms for "security / identity" mashup but I'm looking for a "good" implementation and clean integration into domino. (Even if I may be needing a servlet to do it).

@2: Scott of course participating is great but time is limited ;) I'll seek you in sametime. I'm doing some work to support Dominopoint.it (Italian lotus community) and my blog (www.vistalli.it)

Last but not least ... I've been using ProjectZero.org in the last few months.. It's definitely something that can bring in a powerful glue between J2EE & fast development. The best thing is I've been working with the dev team and now LTPA2 is fully integrated so you can just jump from a secure domino/connections to quick to develop applications. Take a look at it's .. It's my favourite mash-up enabler.

@1: Chris performance is good but dojo.js is still 373 Kb (dojo 0.4) with no expires headers ... setting up mod_headers and mod_deflate at the IHS level is going to make real difference. I'm going to do it myself on my server if I've it cooked up soon I'll be sending you the config fragment.

Bye
