The Domino Administrator Documentation Team in the IBM Lotus Information Development Center is looking at restructuring some of the Admin Help and wants your feedback on how you use the documentation today. Join Amy Smith, Notes and Domino Information Architect, Cara Viktorov, Information Development Usability Feedback Lead, and the writers from the Domino Administrator Information Development team in this moderated forum and be a critical part of the team’s decisions about the direction for this doc set. Post your use cases, give the team your suggestions, and look for specific questions about usage and restructuring as the week progresses.

The team is particularly interested in feedback on the following:

• What are your use cases for using Domino Admin Help - when do you need it, when is it most helpful, when is it least helpful?
• How often do you use context-sensitive (F1) Help? How useful is F1 Help?
  
• Do you use the product Help or information center more often? Why do you use one over the other?
  
• Do you use the Notes and Domino wiki? If so, in what ways do you use the wiki (read, comment, edit articles, post articles, etc.)?
  
• General help experiences - Do you have a favorite Help feature or Help area? Least favorite?

These are just some suggestions to get you started, but all questions, opinions, and feedback are welcomed!

Join in, ask questions, provide feedback.

The forum is open for posts now, but the team will be checking in and responding to posts the week of February 22, 2010 only.

Maybe they can hold another forum on that. But I found this one interesting. Especially the comments on UI and contnet.

Instead of rethinking the Help for the Administration Client IBM should be rethinking the Administration Client itself. It hasn't had anything (or extremely little) done to it since R5. I understand TCO of Administration doesn't sell Notes, but the Admin Client's capabilities have not been improved in many releases.

I understand you can point to DAOS and DDM as improvements in Administration, but no improvements in the Admin Client have accompanied these feature enhancements.

It is time to do a feature enhancement for the Admin Client.
