A thing that comes up frequently when talking with customers is where can they find information about Lotus Software products, other than in the online help databases and the Redbooks/Redpapers? Well, let's take a moment to look into that...

Much like other IBM/Lotus products, Domino has joined the Information Center way of delivering help information. Let's not worry too much, there is still a place for .nsf files. After all, the "Lotus Domino 8 Administrator Help" database ships with the product and is also available via the Lotus Domino Documentation site. But there is indeed a new addition to the Domino Documentation site: the InfoCenter.

The "Lotus Domino 8 Information Center" contains the same information as that of the "Lotus Domino Administrator Help" database, but in a different format.  The format matches that of the InfoCenters for Lotus Sametime, Lotus Quckr, Lotus Connections and WebSphere Portal. So, now you have a choice of format when you refer to Domino help.

Provided below is the list of links where you can find the documentation you need on-line, over the World Wide Web, through an Internet connection.

• Lotus Domino documentation - the main Lotus Domino documentation site: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/domino/
• Lotus support: Self-help and services (includes access to the Lotus support knowledge base): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/support/
       

...as well as the aforementioned Information Centers...

• IBM Lotus Domino and Notes Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp
• IBM Lotus Sametime Version 7.5.1 CF1 information center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/sametime/v7r5m1/index.jsp
• IBM Lotus Quickr Version 8.0 Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lqkrhelp/v8r0/index.jsp  
• IBM Lotus Connections information center : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v1r0/index.jsp
• IBM® WebSphere® Portal, Version 6.0 Information Center: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/index.jsp
  

And there you have it. Alternatively, there'll be the people in the labs at Lotusphere.. But unlike these Information Centers, you'll be able to consult these people only for a week.
