This week there was a two hour internal "Lotus Knows" event over in Littleton, where Lotus product teams gave a short 15 minute presentation highlighting features to work faster/better/smarter.
One I thought was really cool was the new trick in Quickr Domino....if you're running Quickr Domino in the Notes client sidebar, and you try to send a file over a certain size, it will ask you if you really want to send it, and give you the opportunity to put it into a Quickr Place instead and just send a link to the file.
Unlike many of the legacy Lotus employees, my Notes email lives on a corporate server, and I have a file space limit. When people start doing reply to all on some detail about the headcount spreadsheet and keep the attachment, it doesn't take long before the disk space police send me a warning about how close I am to having my email privileges turned off. And there goes the next 20 minutes of my day, as I extract my attachments and save them off into another database, and archive.
The Quickr Domino people even check that everybody you plan to send the file to has access to the teamroom before the email goes out. VERY smooth.
