<description><![CDATA[Agreed. I've found that traditional Lotus Notes/Domino developers don't start to excel at XPages development until they accept the fact that XPages are not just another design element but a modern platform with none of the hacks and limitations of a traditional Domino web site. Also, once they come to make that realization, they also start to realize that all of the barriers are lifted and really modern web sites are possible with the platform with only their imagination to hold them back.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I totally agree on internally developed vs. by a consultant. But we can still work to improve all XPages UI's. And it is not just Bootstrap. I have seen great stuff from EXTJS, jQuery, etc. And you can do amazing things wiht a UI designer and OneUI. It just needs to be done. I want to move the discussion forward ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What Patrick says +... If you're not developing applications for sale, then you will use the defaults of the development tool you are using. That's the primary reason Notes Apps look so flat and why Xpages apps will look like your first screen shot. I've always felt that a little more UI eye candy in the Notes client would have made a huge improvement to the outcome of most applications.<br /><br />In any case, your point regarding twitter bootstrap is well taken.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What we really need for xPages is a bootstrap application layout control. Starting out in xPages is a daunting experience, the application layout in the extension library makes it very easy to start building applications. While bootstrap is amazing, it doesn't have the ease of entry that oneUI and the application layout controls do. I would put forth that an application layout control/navigator should be built and added to Openntf. <br /><br />Lets face the facts, 90% of xPages apps are going to look exactly the same because they will all use oneui. Similar to how 90% of all Notes client apps looks exactly the same. This is done because it is easy; people will use the tools they are given. Provide an easy way to implement bootstrap and people will use it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Trying to duplicate the entire Notes app U.I. in XPages is the wrong approach in most cases. So many developers are trying to pull all their old Notes views into XPages, when we really need to change our mindset and use simpler search mechanisms for users to get to the data more easily. <br /><br />Plus, end users that are brought into the discussion about conversion tend to naturally think "oh, I have 100 views in this Notes app. So, I want to also see every one of them in the new XPages version."<br /><br />Instead of a complete conversion, it may be better to expose a small portion of the Notes app in XPages. For example, for one of my customers we gave sales people a mobile XPages front end to do a quick search of customers info from a CRM database. So easy, yet they find it very useful - they can see a small amount of important info, and can click on links to directly email or call on the phone. It's faster and more convenient for them than having to fire up their laptop and wait while Notes launches.]]></description>

For one of our applications the LotusScript API code is running with success. Do you know if the plug-in will work in this environment?
