Super stuff. Been talking with some of the yellow bubble guys on this VERY subject.
Bit of a topic within some of the yellow bubble...but you should have a look at RCP development within Notes. Basically you are extending the Eclipse environment to customise things like right click menu options, popups, sidebar, dialogs the whole interface.
You also have access to the Java / NOI objects and some Notes Java UI objects.
Allows you to customise Notes, Designer, Symphony, Sametime...
Some great UI building tools (see Bob Balfe - SWT drag and drop stuff). OpenNTF has loads of examples.
Pig to setup (but mikkel heisterberg has great docs on it). Threading is also a thing to watch (UI and "back end" operations) - again there are classes that make it easier for you.
The whole Java / Eclipse / XPages stuff is great (you knew I was going to start going there!).
The great thing is its Eclipse so it can "stand alone" or integrate with the client / designer etc - giving you a load of options. Also the plugin architecture means that from an "admin perspective" deployment can be done centrally to your clients - just requires a re-boot. Properties can also be pushed out to your app centrally.. (whcih can be reset / managed / overridden in your client properties box)
Anyway .... waffling. If you get a project that would benefit this I am sure you would produce some great stuff.
Jake,

Looks like a very useful tool as it stands!
