Lotus quickr – first look
My latest assignment ‘forces’ me too look into Lotus Quickr more deeply. It’s of course very interesting and at a first glance it really looks nice, to be an IBMer that is then….
Then I started to look in to the various tools, so far I have tested the doc library and the WIKI. The doc library is good, there’s no freakn’ java applet for RTF text anymore but a decent javascript based editor. That’s great. The Wiki is a disappointment in though. You can’t do quick link formatting like CamelCase or [Standard Links] but you have tot add them via a link button in the toolbar. I’m very curious to see how IBM defines a WIKI.
More about Lotus Quickr will follow shortly.
Stumble It!
Quickr looks good in marketing materials, but most people are finding that they would prefer to wait for a later release with some challenges sorted out properly.
I think you are referencing the troubles with permalinks – that there isn’t any such thing. One customer of ours, a big notes shop (5k+ users), took a good run at quickr, but are moving to confluence instead.
