suggest Lotus Symphony and Domino Designer to Ninite
Category grassroots
Earlier today, Carl Tyler posted about Ninite, a single site to go to for downloading a bunch of applications at once. For example, when setting up a brand new machine, you could check off Firefox, Pidgin, VLC, GIMP, OpenOffice, AVG, 7-Zip, and so on, and then click "Get Installer" and get a single executable that installs everything you need except your fringe applications... for example, for many of you, that includes Domino Designer.
But Designer is now free. And Lotus Symphony has been since its original release. At the bottom of Ninite's home page, they include a form to "Suggest an app". I've already suggested both Designer and Symphony, and am requesting that all of you do the same. Not only would it be quite convenient for us to include those apps in a bulk install the next time we need to outfit a new machine, wouldn't it be great if all of Ninite's visitors saw free Lotus products, treated as true peers to software they've already heard of, offered in a context where those visitors don't have to click through 37 pages on IBM's site just to download the software?

But I do applaud your efforts.

Hey Ed Brill, can you make an exception for Ninite?
