It looks like IBM will finally release a native Notes client (Java) for Linux.
The quote from the article:
Stefan Pettersson, technical manager for IBM’s Lotus division in Sweden, said that there will be a Java client of Lotus Notes some time during the second half of 2004. This means that the first “native” Notes client to run under Linux will soon be available.

What they’re actually referring to is the so-called “rich client”, something that will hopefully offer Notes-ish functionality on certain Wintel / Linux-based platforms. The rich client is in turn based upon the Eclipse rich client project, utilising SyncML for “replication” and so on. You can find out more from Lotusphere presentations etc., although it’s very early days for this development.
