Same boat here in the USA. Been doing Domino dev since 93 and it seems that most of our clients are moving away from Domino. They still support the few applications they have, but they are really not doing anything new with Domino. Seems like Sharepoint has become the new popular kid in town. But what cracks me up, is that when you go and try to learn Sharepoint and start watching their videos, etc... it sounds like Domino V4 LotusSphere all over again... "3 Cs... Communicate, Collaborate, blah, blah..."
What I want to know, and I haven't been to Lotussphere in some time... someone must still be doing Domino if LotusSphere is still such a big event. Has everyone become established and have their own developers and subject matter experts now and no longer need the consultants? Really, our consulting firm has gone from a team of 15 dedicated Domino developers and notes administrators, down to 2 dedicated developers... and each of us are staffed at clients moving away from Domino and trying to implement Sharepoint.
I am also looking forward to your future posts on Sharepoint, as I am also probably going to be crossing over to the dark side very soon.
