Ed Brill’s post this morning – Notes myth v reality discussed in two good blog entries reminded me that I had recently been made aware that some individuals use Wikipedia’s article regarding Lotus Notes as their primary basis for evaluating the product. Seriously. These are non technology types – and yeah what are they going to do when they need to find out about technology? They are going to search on the words “Lotus Notes” and look for the Wikipedia article. And because it’s on Wikipedia “it must be true.”
Well, take a few minutes and read through it. In my opinion, having worked with the product since (only 1996), I’d say there are A LOT of inaccuracies. As Ed pointed out – Wikipedia looks down a bit on vendors updating their own entries. So come on now…let’s take ownership of what we know to be the truth about the product. Many of you certainly have the resources to make sure this is truly reflective of what we know to be an awesome product. Ed also has offered to help confirm the dates/facts and such! So Yellowverse why don’t we get organized…perhaps we could work together and have it updated before 8.5.1 is released?
