But their execution is designed to lock customers into Lotus Notes. The idea of activity centric worksites can easily be implemented using Blogs and Wikis. Blogtronix and iUpload already have implementations for this. You simply need to set up blog templates for each type of activity you need to do in your organization. For example, set up a People Page, a Project Worksite, a Client Worksite, etc. Each is just a blog, with a few minor configuration changes. The only additional thing you need to add to some set-up scripts so your end users can create their own instance of a "Project Worksite" for each new project.
