You may be aware that 2 weeks ago IBM released the latest and greatest release of Quickr 8.5 for Domino. There's been tons of buzz around this release. For example,

- Taking Notes Podcast Episode 120 - Everything you wanted to know about Quickr 8.5 and more
- IdoNotes Episode 81 - Quickr 8.5, Collaboration University and FREE plug-ins
I won't repeat all the new features since there's just too many and others have covered it widely.
