Welcome to the IBM® Lotus® SametimeTM wiki where you can find and contribute content about Sametime Standard, Sametime Entry, Sametime Gateway, and Sametime Unified Telephony. The wiki contains deployment scenarios, troubleshooting, and configuration tips. The Media Gallery contains instructional videos and demos, and web seminars about using Sametime. You'll also find instructional and video resources for administrators and developers.


News Flash: On July 27, IBM announced that Sametime 8.5.1 would be generally available (GA) for customers and partners to install on July 29. Unfortunately, we identified an issue during the build process and have opted to delay the GA release by up to two weeks. We understand that some Sametime customers will be impacted by this delay and apologize for the inconvenience but IBM takes product quality very seriously. We will use the SametimeBlog to provide updates if anything changes. If you have any questions, by all means don't hesitate to contact one of us on the blog, or your IBM Sales Representative.
