Welcome to Domino News
Welcome to Domino News — our first post.
This site focuses on HCL Domino and its broader ecosystem: Notes, Domino REST API, Volt MX, Nomad, AppDev Pack, Sametime, and more — covering technical deep-dives and ecosystem news.
Why this site
HCL Domino’s ecosystem signal is scattered across many places: HCL official pages, HCL Ambassador blogs, planetlotus.org aggregation, OpenNTF projects, GitHub release notes, the developer forums. Every day, this site publishes a single bilingual (Traditional Chinese + English) post — primarily a deep-dive on an HCL official class or feature, with a news roundup when something noteworthy lands, keeping you current on the ecosystem.
Where the topics come from
Topics so far have been almost entirely deep-dives on under-covered classes and features from the official HCL docs (e.g. DQL: getting started, NotesViewNavigator, NotesView.GetAllDocumentsByKey) — guided by the OpenNTF/ls-classmap catalogue to track which classes haven’t been covered. When there’s an HCL announcement, an HCL Ambassador post, or OpenNTF activity worth covering, that becomes the day’s piece instead.
Quality commitments
- Source priority: HCL official pages > HCL Ambassador / OpenNTF > known business-partner blogs (panagenda, prominic, etc.)
- No unverifiable content gets cited; every article ends with a list of the actual sources consulted
- When a critical factual error can’t be repaired the same day, no post goes out — silence beats bad content
What to expect
- Product release notes
- Hands-on development for Nomad and the Domino REST API
- LotusScript / @Formula / Java / SSJS back-end class deep-dives
- Security and administration (admin, ID vault, HTTP headers, OIDC)
- Community events and technical knowledge sharing
- AI + Domino integration trends (Domino IQ, etc.)
The whole workflow is open source
The publishing workflow and the salvage flow for rejected drafts are all open on GitHub. Issues and architecture suggestions welcome.
