Ohhh. @pluralistic references Lotus Notes (factually OK, I would have a few clarifications) in an AI related text

"I hate Notes" messages will be arriving pretty soon, although you would not believe, who still runs Notes applications productively. :D

Lotus Notes (used by Psion/Symbian in the end 90s) was the only functional company-wide discussion and knowledge spreading utility on the market. Very quirky, but also superior to not having anything at all for a company with offices in various contries.

Very few companies I've worked in since have come close to the actually working cross-team communication Notes gave us back then.

@troed @leyrer @pluralistic ahh, that was good technology. So much better than a mass of email threads. A flexible tool, that could be easily tuned to a specific use case of a specific small group or project.
