Upgrading from QuickPlace 6.5.1 to Quickr 8.1 - advice needed

This week I plan on upgrading an old QuickPlace 6.5.1 server to Quickr 8.1 and was wondering if anybody had any advice before I taking the plunge. Multiple backups of the 6.5.1 server will be made and I have read through the documentation several times. It seems like a pretty easy upgrade but I just wanted to hear from anybody that had a good and/or bad experience with the upgrade and if there is anything specifically I need to watch out for.

How outdated are your (mac) apps?

Good or bad IBM ad placement?

Screenshot from last nights LinkJam build

LinkJam Yeah!

LinkJam is the perfect solution for IBM Lotus Notes and Domino shops that want to explore social bookmarking but can't afford IBM's Lotus Connections. LinkJam is a pure IBM Lotus Domino application that you can have running on your existing Lotus infrastructure. No new hardware and no new software. It works with Domino 6.5.x, 7.x and 8.x. It just works.

LinkJam is rapidly approaching a public beta. We also have some really cool news to share about LinkJam and IdeaJam in the near future. Stay tuned.

Quickr the vote

If you are an IBM Lotus Quickr user and haven't yet voted or commented on these 42 ideas then please take a few minutes to do so. Also, if anybody can help put me in touch with the Quickr Product Manager so we can get them setup to manage the Quickr IdeaSpace on IdeaJam that would be fantastic.
