OpenNTF Applications Upgrades
I am in the process of adding some things to my OpenNTF applications and was wondering what designer client I should be using to do the changes. I think that I can safely move off of the Notes 6.5.x client, but is it ok to do all my coding in the Notes 8 Designer? I don't think that I will be doing anything that will cause issues, but I do wonder how other project chef's are handling the multiple supported versions of Notes.

I think you should stay on version 7. Considering how many people are still on version 6, going to 8 will take a loooong time.

It could easily become a maintenance headache, but with a little discipline having both a 7 and an 8 version could work well.
You should definitely have a 7 version in any case because of the ODS change going to 8 that would flumux many junior developers stuck on 7. You could pretty easily maintain *identical* versions that differ only in their ODS, but you could also include special Notes 8 enhancements in that version. Using design element inheritance to maintain one "core" design and inherit those element into the two branch designs should make things manageable.
