David Leedy recently posted a video on Domino Designer Tips and Tweaks, which is great. But sooner or later, you’ll move to a new PC or (god forbid!) have a serious problem with Domino Designer / Notes and really want to reinstall, to clean everything up.

The second day of Lotusphere began with OpenSocial integration to generate embedded experiences. With Lotus Domino 8.5.4 Social Edition, embedded experiences are going to be a significant addition to the Domino developer’s toolkit through the second half of 2012.
