My answer is YES!
Is there a reason why the Faq of Faq links (From Doug Finner) is not there anymore?

It should be added back to the web site.
Also, it would be great to add a link to the Crispy initiative from Andre Guirard (IBM)

The Database Redirection tool
Have you ever used this new feature?
What's new in the Lotus Domino V8 server Link
A new Database Redirection function automatically fixes broken links to moved or deleted applications. Redirection markers are created by default, and a new tool (see figure 11) lets an administrator create or modify redirects manually. When a Lotus Notes client accesses a redirection marker, if the file has been moved the reference is replaced; if the file has been deleted, the reference is deleted. (Database redirects are used only by Lotus Notes V8 clients, not by servers.) The tool lets administrators assign references to particular users or groups, making redirection role-based.

Free Proofpoint Report on Outbound Email Security and Data Loss Prevention
Not directly related to Lotus but an interesting report. Registration is required
How concerned are companies about the content of email leaving their organizations? And how do companies manage the legal and financial risks associated with outbound email? To find out, Proofpoint and Forrester Consulting (a division of leading analyst firm Forrester) conducted an
online survey of technology decision makers at 424 large companies - in the US, UK, Germany, France and Australia - during March 2008.
This report summarizes the findings of Proofpoint's fifth-annual email security and data loss prevention study, including surprising statistics about how large companies manage the risks associated with outbound email, blog postings, media sharing sites, social networking sites, mobile Internet-connected devices and other electronic communications streams.

Windows Server 2008 potholes snag Exchange, in-place upgrades
From Network world
Users planning to run Microsoft Exchange on Windows Server 2008 and those contemplating
in-place upgrades of the new server operating system coming out next week may face
installation problems unless they heed specific advice from Microsoft.
The vendor is already warning users that the RTM version of Exchange 2007 cannot be
installed on Windows Server 2008 and that it is impossible to do an in-place upgrade to
Windows Server 2008 on a server running Exchange 2007 SP1.
Microsoft also has said "rolling upgrades" of failover clusters for Exchange are
impossible.
Microsoft has published three migration options, including one long set of steps around
off-loading data, uninstalling and reinstalling numerous Exchange components.
......
Microsoft officials say in-place upgrades are not considered a best practice [for
Microsoft products] and that most large IT shops do thorough testing before deployment.
...
In addition, Hinrichs said Windows Server 2008 installs will likely [hopefully] be done
on new hardware or hardware wiped clean for new installs.
