In preparation of our 6.5.1 client to our users (currently on 5.0.12), we would like to put together some informational material, to help ease the transition.What would be some recommended reading to best see the big differences between 6.5 and 5.0.x?

I found a fantastic website (www.waresource.com) that has all sorts of in-depth training material for the latest version of Notes.
They also allow you to download (in PDF format for free) some cheat sheets for each of the areas of the Notes client. This has been indispensible for small group training and when a large training session comes along I’m definitely buying their training package.

Flash demonstrations
Users can watch demos at the following URL: http://www.lotus.com/lotus/offering1.nsf/wdocs/nd65demo
I suggest the general overview demo, as well as the product specific Lotus Notes and Domino Web Access ones. (Developers should also watch the Designer, LEI, and WebSphere Studio toolkit ones.)
