We just published a document which reviews the integration points that IdeaJam has with Lotus Connections. Lotus Connections can surface IdeaJam ideas using the IdeaJam Lotus Connections iWidget, a vast array of RSS feeds and via the Lotus Connections Business Card. These same features are also available for Microsoft Sharepoint.

In a few weeks Elguji will be launching a new version of it's question and answer social software IQJam. In this release customers will have some really cool new features that they have been asking us for. They are:

• - Attachments can now be added to answers
• - Added IBM Lotus Connections Business Card integration for views, questions and answers
• - Added a new Web Service - "securityservice" which will return the security key for a user when you pass in their username and password
• - We now support language localization at the user level
• - Every piece of static text in IQJam can be changed from the language localization administration screen
• - Added new button to mark an unanswered question as closed (i.e. not relevant any more)

We also fixed the following bugs:

• - Fixed layout of email body sent when a new answer is added
• - Fixed display of "Experts" when changing the view filter on an IQSubSpace
• - Changed name of questions web service to "questionsservice" due to naming conflict with a view
• - Added extra error handling to JSON API search agent

We are very proud of IQJam and are extremely pleased with it's success in the markeplace as the only full-featured question and answer social software for the IBM Lotus social software market.

Below is a demo of the Lotus Business Card functionality using the control in a forthcoming version of IQJam.

Check out Suzanne Minassian's post on the Synch.rono.us blog about Idea Jam:

If you haven't seen IdeaJam, you should definitely check it out. IdeaJam is an application which lets you enter in new ideas for Lotus products, vote on them, and comment on them. There is a category dedicated to Lotus Connections, which means if you have ideas for Connections, here is where to put them. Other people can vote you up (or down!) in points, and you may even generate some interesting discussion or debate on a feature! What's even most helpful to us on the product team is that we can view the most highly rated features and use that to help us set priorities on what we're building.So, I've added the Connections category to my feedreader, and I'm going to be checking in to see what you want (or don't want!) from Connections. Help us by telling us your ideas!
