  1. I've only used Domino to create web sites either on a company intranet or the Internet. However, I have been looking for a replacement for Domino. Have you looked at the open source project web2py? It uses python but python is an easy language to learn.

    My pipe-dream is to take mongrel2 as a web server, hook it to web2py using zeromq queuing system and use couchdb for the no-SQL db back-end.

    I installed web2py on my PC using it's built-in web server, rocket, for some testing. Then I'd need modify web2py with a drag-and-drop web page and form builder using JavaScript frameworks like basecamp, jQuery, backbone and knockout.

    So who wants to create an entirely web-based Notes/Domino equivalent as an open source project?

    I like web2py because it has a lot of features similar to Notes/Domino. Mainly it as an authentication system and an authorization system based on user roles.

    I'm unemployed at the moment and my business has no customers either. My wife says I'm retired ... and she may be right. She has a good job (IBM) so we're not hurting ... but I still long to build software systems. Perhaps leave some kind of legacy. Not much that I've created is left now. Just two active web sites ... three if you count my own.

    Peace, Rob:-]
