“Lotus is also considering porting SmartSuite to Linux, said
Lynne Capozzi, vice president of Internet applications. But again,
no timeframe has been disclosed.”

“Now that Notes/Domino R5, considered the most important launch
of Lotus’s groupware product since release 1.0, has shipped, the
IBM subsidiary is ready to try again to establish a strong
second-string product line. This time, the strategy will focus on a
set of knowledge management applications that are not dependent on
Notes/Domino.”
