I am currently looking at the 8.5.2 Teamroom template and if it will fit well in our application portfolio. Getting the application up and running is not a problem. Allthough I have noticed some technical problem areas the information I am more interested in is about:
The purpose of the application. What is it’s objective and how we should position the application in our portfolio.
How should the application be setup and what are the options?
How can daily users use the application, what is in it, what are the options to use it?
A lot of information on Teamroom is available on the web, but not all is of recent date or distributed by IBM. For example:
Unfortunately such information is not shipped with the template. In case you know where I can find good, more recent information please drop a reference here.
Distribution of the extension library
Mon, Apr 29th 2013 4:07a Patrick Kwinten I have written a document on the distribution of the extension library. I have compared Upgrade Pack installation option with using an Update Site. You may guess who has become the winner. If there is anything incorrect stated in the document please let me know.

jQCloud gone bad (jQuery Tag Cloud plugin in XPages)
Tue, Apr 9th 2013 12:04p Patrick Kwinten I had the idea to make a custom control to make the display of a categorized view more attractive. Quickly you come to tag clouds. While the extension library has an easy to use tagcloud control you probably want to have a result that looks more like this:
jQCloud is a JQuery based plugin that does a bit of the trick for you. Unfortunately it seems the link option can not handle question mark parameters so an .xsp?filter= link does not work. This makes the plugin little of interest. Nevertheles [read] Keywords: ibm

CALENDARIO: A responsive calendar plugin
Mon, Apr 8th 2013 7:07a Patrick Kwinten Calendars can be a very tricky thing when it comes to their layout and responsiveness. Calendrio is a jQuery plugin to display a calendar layout for both, small and big screens and keeping the calendar structure fluid when possible.
Here follows a brief description how you can utilize the plugin in your IBM Notes – XPages application.
Resources
Copy the resources to the WebContent folder via the Package Explorer:

jQuery Mobile 1.3 Panel Widget XPages demo (for download)
Thu, Mar 28th 2013 6:29a Patrick Kwinten The last couple of days I have been ‘playing’ with jQuery Mobile and mostly with the panel widget.
I have made some kind of starter-kit (NSF) to build a great XPages app for tablets/smartphones. I have setup a subset of custom controls which accept properties. A simple form in Notes you can use to setup navigation for header, footer and a vertical menu.
You can download the (zipped) NSF on Dropbox.
Below you can see a sample result:

New job/opportunity wanted
Wed, Mar 27th 2013 4:12a Patrick Kwinten The last year(s) I have followed the Dutch saying:
A rolling stone does not gather moss
But I have come to a point where my current job hinders my creativity and my ambitions too much. Therefor I have decided it is time to make my desire for a new more challenging work environment more clear.
I have added a noticeable image in a widget on the right of this blog that will remain there until the time necessary.
My strengths are:
Understanding of web development and standards.

Adding resources that include parameters (xpages tip)
Tue, Mar 26th 2013 6:05a Patrick Kwinten You have several options how to include resources (e.g. css files) that include query parameters. What does not seem to work is to add such a style sheet reference via the Resources Style sheet option.
However if you add the reference as a linked resource things seem to work e.g.
I am not sure if this is the proper or preferred way to add such resource? [read] Keywords: ldd

An Anatomy of an Adaptive Web Experience – Brad Frost
Thu, Mar 7th 2013 7:22a Patrick Kwinten Responsive web design is becoming more clearly an important specification from our customers. Allthough the customer is mostly already satisfied when we port the same UI to different devices, responsive web design is just the top of the iceberg when we talk about optimizing web enabled Notes applications for different devices.
Today I followed a presentation from Brad Frost held at the Smashing conference 2012. You can find the slides also on Slideshare.
