Lotus makes use of the replication technology present in Domino to let users download QuickPlace pages, make changes and then synchronize the changes with the QuickPlace server. However, QuickPlace doesn't make use of Lotus replication technology to exchange data with other QuickPlace servers. Web pages are the product's basic building blocks. We could easily create formatted text, attach files or insert links to external Web sites. We could also import files that were converted to HTML but were available for editing.
Collaborators can easily post several versions of an item.
Pages can be published to the QuickPlace folders, and QuickPlace can notify team members via e-mail when new content appears on the site. The e-mail contains a URL that takes recipients right to the new material. However, a busy site will generate a blizzard of e-mail messages. Lotus might want to give users the choice of how often they want to be notified, perhaps building a digest of changes for a particular period. QuickPlace also needs some visual indicators, such as flag icons, so users browsing the site can quickly see where material has changed.
