I did not get a chance to attend Ed Brill's "Lotus Notes and Domino Strategy 2009" at the Lotusphere, but I did look at the slides from his session. There are some very exciting things in works. Some will be delivered in 8.5.1 (1st half of 2009?), some in 9.0
  • Lotus Notes productivity enhancements:
    - Accept/decline meetings from Inbox preview pane
    - Drag e-mail to calendar to schedule e-mail
    - Easier (?) inclusion of vCard in e-mail signature
    - Right click on trash can icon to empty trash
  • Directory Independence: "People" will no longer have to be stored in Domino Directory, they can come from Active Directory. Initially, only Active Directory will be supported but more may be added in the future.
  • File Server Roaming for Mac and Linux clients will be added. Right now, it is only available on Windows platform.
  • Integration with LinkedIn
  • Domino Designer, now Eclipse based as of 8.5, will get new LotusScript and Java editors, both Eclipse based.
  • Improved search - "Total Recall"? (Notes 9)
  • Group Calendar (Notes 9)
  • Big improvements to archiving, some in 8.5.1, some in 9, incl. cut-off date for archive files and turn-over to the new file, truncating messages and inserting a link to the archived document in the original copy, searching archives form the main mailbox.
