will Ajaxian notice XPages?

Category xpages
This morning, Ajaxian picked up on a new module for Apache that provides (as of now, extremely basic) support for SSJS. I wonder, when Domino 8.5 is released, will Ajaxian mention that XPages provide extremely robust SSJS support (including server-side Java object caching and session management), as well as a drag-n-drop GUI for adding dijits to a web application? Somehow I doubt it, but you can expect a little squee from me if they do.

1 - I think someone on the Ajaxian staff has a soft spot for Domino as they have posted a couple of my blog posts in the past about Domino web dev. So hopefully they'll mention it when it's released.

2 - I think you would need to ping Dion or Ben directly, as somehow I don't think the IBM stealth marketing machine for Domino app dev is going to reach Ajaxian.

However, unlike this particular module or the SSJS offerings from Mozilla and Aptana, XPages is not built on an open stack, so is unlikely to get much interest outside of the Lotus faithful.

3 - Yeah, I wouldn't expect much unless you throw it their way, like Jeff said if you just ping em about some article though, odds are in your favor assuming they find it relevant.
