I happened to be casually browsing developerWorks today. I immediately noticed a Lotus Connections article about integrating Lotus Quickr and Lotus Connections Activities together!! Unfortunately, I can't Dogear it, but I hope that you find this entry good for now. As you know, Activities should not be used as a content repository. Instead, it's a way to get a deliverable done. You ask certain people to join in, provide their ideas or revise a document. They in turn can ask other people to join in and collaborate. Once a document has been completed, it has to be posted along with the rest of the intellectual capital. This can be a Quickr place, a Domino database, or some other sort of content repository.
But how do you easily get content created in Activities into a repository such as a Quickr place ? Linker is, well, the missing link. Linker is an Eclipse plug-in which lets you access a "tree view". You can then right-click on any Activity item and publish it into a Quickr place as shown in these screenshots:
which results in the following:
Now this isn't production code. Even though it's an Eclipse plug-in and it should run on Notes 8 (a.k.a Expeditor on drugs), the article merely serves as an example on what can be done with the Connections and Quickr API's. The sample code provided in this article is pretty good and will help our business partners and customers get started on using the APIs.
