Duffbert's Random Musings

1 - Wow, the last thing I remember seeing was the old white paper Ken Schweda put out in the R4 days. Maybe with all of the design elements added in R5 (outlines, pages, framesets, etc.), coming up with good practices for that version seemed too daunting.

I did find this on e-pro:

Overcoming Notes Development Challenges

Also, I seem to remember that Rocky Oliver was going to give a presentation on this topic, "Measure twice, cut once." I can't remember if this was on Notes or Domino dev, but it may be worthwhile to give him a ping.

2 - Religious war!

Julian's recent performance guidelines are a good start. (http://www.nsftools.com/tips/PerfTips.htm)

Something else I'd love to see is a wiki-style web site dedicated to the broader topic: suggestions, discussions, opposing points of view, links to supporting resources, but fairly neatly managed and packaged, as a single place to get a comprehensive overview of what different people recommend as best practices and pros and cons of each.
