Rob, you have my professional envy. Software is what I do, like most, to pay the bills nowadays. It used to be what I love to do. Seems like getting those bills paid has made it less enjoyable as a hobby like it once was. 6 years back I would spend almost all my free time working on something just because the idea was cool. Now I almost can't be bothered, which is more my state of mind regarding my work rather than the worthiness of anyone else.
Your idea is intriguing and my old self would jump up and down to have fun like that. My "pay off the house and get kids through school" self can merely muster an enthusiastic "thumbs up" on the notion. Open sourcing LN would be terrific in itself... being as that will NEVER happen, building something like it is the next best.
You should take a look at PUAKMA if you're willing to get involved in Java. It's not "free" but it's free to try or once was.
Also, Ruby on Rails has potential to provide a goo substitute for Domino and I've seen it used a bit here and there commercially. It's a pretty well defined end to end solution.
Have fun - it's great to see there are people who have the luxury! :-)
