IBM Lotus Quickr

Announced at the Lotusphere 2007, IBM Lotus Quickr is Web 2.0-based team collaboration, designed to transform the way documents and rich media are shared and enable more effective team collaboration. Lotus Quickr has connectors to integrate with popular desktop applications, content and team services such as wikis and team blogs, and scalable content repositories to help businesses manage information. Initial support for the NSF and JCR backends was announced with future support coming for IBM DB2 Content Manager and IBM Filenet P8. IBM Lotus Notes users on active maintenance can use the personal edition of Lotus Quickr at no additional charge.

Lotus Quickr can be described as three things (all included):
# Content stores or repositories - where you store your personal and team content
# Content and team services - that let you store, organize, access, and share content and team projects
# Connectors - that provide the end user interface to Lotus Quickr content

The Lotus Quickr connectors are like mini-applications or plug-ins that are snapped into desktop applications. The connectors let people work in their familiar desktop applications and move content from IBM Lotus Notes, IBM Lotus Sametime, Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office or the IBM Lotus Symphony directly into Lotus Quickr.

The Lotus Quickr content services include Web services and REST style services for accessing content, allowing developers to build their own extensions and connectors to Quickr.
