Domino is an interesting 'Dark horse' in the KM race. The Notes product should now dominate the KM space given that Lotus (then a 1b+ software player) created the first product to somewhat fit the description. However, the products issues have, to say the least, held it back. The product becomes unstable when deployed on a large scale, even as a messaging system. The internal DB engine sux Propriatary development environment Etc, Etc, Etc... In fact my company (and most of the rest of the world) is now in the painfull process of switching over to Exchange. We switch even knowing the level of problems that remain with Exchange. It just proves that everything is relative. As for Site Server, it seems to be a good product, for what it was intended. All sorts of search/extraction/etc. products are being created for the Web, and many of them rock! But these technologies were designed, and are only usefull for the static information that is 'published' on a web site. That is very different than lifting 'knowledge' from live/active/real world data (DM/DB/e-mail...). Site Server is good, we use it. But when you have a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.
