Common Application Signing Account

: Infrastructure
: signing id
As you look to re-design the site, I think it would be a good idea to look into creating an OpenNTF signer account that the finished applications (especially in the new catalog) would be signed with. That would allow me to choose to add this into the ECL for my ...

Red projects

: Strategy
: strategy
New projects should be kicked off as 'red projects'. Similar to redbooks a couple of experts work (virtually) together on a concrete deliverable in a short amount of time. In difference to redbooks the main deliverable however is not text, but code. This is a very efficient way to produce ...

Provide a public Sametime service for OpenNTF users

: Strategy
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should provide a Sametime service for OpenNTF users to interact via instant messaging. This doesn't necessarily mean that OpenNTF needs to set up it's own service but could also mean that OpenNTF leverages and integrates other services (e.g. LotusLive, bleedyellow, etc.)

Add a "how to contribute" field to all projects

: Infrastructure
: contribute
Almost nowhere is a description or invitation to contribute to a project. It would be great if this could be encouraged by the infrastructure with a "how to contribute" field/page.

Also, it would be great if there would be a how-to about contributing, as this (at ...

Improve the overall UX for the home pageView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should improve the user experience of the home page:

- The UI should look more modern and clearer

- Full text search needs to be a first class citizen to find content, people etc.

- Recent content (projects, samples, blog entries, ideas) should be shown

Add "Production ready" rating/category

: Infrastructure
: category, rating
There are a lot of projects, which you can use, but not every one is ready to be deployed. Some are frameworks, some are just not ready (yet).

It would be great to distinguish them so you can only browse the "drop it into your domino ...

Theme RepositoryView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: css, themes
I suggest that a section of OpenNTF be set aside for XPages themes. Similar to the CSS Zen Garden ({ Link } each contribution would modify a base form and/or view and provide screenshots, .css files and any images.

The base form/view would have common elements, ...

LotusScript.doc should be supported by OpenNTF

: New Projects
: lotusscript.doc, javadoc

See { Link }

So what is LotusScript.doc?
Well basically it aims to be for LotusScript what javadoc is for Java,
that is a standard easy way to generate HTML documentation for LotusScript code in Notes applications.

Code control system for design elements in NSFs/NTFsView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should allow for more collaborative work on open source projects on OpenNTF.Org. There should be code control and version management including check-in/check-out, branch and merge, audit trail of code changes and rollback, etc. for design elements.

There are some theoretic technical alternatives for which existing ...

Provide one wiki per project for documentationView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
This idea has been copied from Rob Wills from ideajam: { Link }

Each project on openNTF has a Documentation tab. This enables you to upload documents to help users install the software properly and then know how it is designed to be used. ...

Improve the overall UX for the projects page

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should improve the user experience of the projects page:
- The UI should look more modern and clearer
- Finding of actual content in all the tabs should be easier and not that hidden (and with the unnecessary sections)
- New optional tools should be ...

Improve the search functionView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: search
It's hard to find a project with the current search method. Currently you can search only with keywords and select some areas. You need to be able to search by Project. this would include the description and title. I don't need the forums, comments, etc.

Choices ...

: Existing Projects

The Notes Client is being prepped for release in a public Ubuntu repository (PPA) for the Open Collaboration Client Solution (OCCS), { Link }

So, now the Lotus community has the potential of reaching a new base of users that have never understand that ...

Registry of project installs

: Infrastructure
: usability, account, user
One drawback of the OpenNTF system is that we have no idea how many people are using the software compared to the number of downloads.
 
Instead of creating a full OpenNTF user account, let users register for a project. This is mainly for morale boosting purposes, but also helps ...

Subversion as code control system for Eclipse codeView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should allow for more collaborative work on open source projects on OpenNTF.Org. There should be code control and version management including check-in/check-out, branch and merge, audit trail of code changes and rollback, etc. for Eclipse code. For Eclipse Java sources Subversion should be available on OpenNTF as version control ...

Project screenshots - more easy to access / preview

: Existing Projects
: screenshot, project
To do a quickscan if a Project on OpenTF is interesting I always go through the screenshots before I start downloading a release.

Unfortunately this screenshots require a lot of navigation back and forth.

Easier navigation between different screenshots would help me ...

XPages custom control repositoryView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure

Similar to the "Theme Repository" idea (linked with this idea).

I suggest that a section of OpenNTF be set aside for XPages custom controls.

Video Channel for Client How-Tos

: Strategy
: client support
Looking at Google's use of videos for new and seasoned GMail users ({ Link } has me thinking that it might be another way to contribute to the community. For those of us that have been using Lotus Notes f-o-r-e-v-e-r, we already know it's immense power. However, ...

Unit Testing application

: testing
I've decided I need to start doing proper unit testing on some of my applications (haha! he speaks in jest you say). Is there an application already open sourced for this? (Could not find one and there is no apparent search facility on OpenNTF) . If anyone out there is ...
