Speaking with Angus MacIntyre today, Program Director for xPages, he said that the Eclipse environment gave the possibility to deploy functional updates to things outside a major release. Then he mentioned the upcoming LotusScript editor for DDE, that's been shown off here at Lotusphere this week.
So of course I asked him why not release the LS editor for DDE when it is ready as an Eclipse update, rather than wait for 8.5.1. Doing that would show that Lotus could do it, and for sure the developer community would like it. He had the grace to say that he'd note the suggestion and take it away for consideration. I'm just about to post this to Ideajam as well, (if I can stay connected to the Lotusphere wireless for long enough) so why not whiz over there, and vote?
