Problem installing the Connections plugin

Installing the Notes Connections plugin from catalog.lotus.com ran into an error “Bundle "com.ibm.json4j" version "9.0.0.20130228-1411" has already been installed” and some others in the error-log.0.xml. I then modified the Notes setup and de-selected the “Connections” option. Then the plugin installed fine.

Is this working as designed? Am I not allowed to install the Connections option when I want to use the Connections plugin?

What is the Connections option good for? At least there’s no activities sidebar widget as in the Beta when installing it.

In the Beta forum someone told me it woultn’t be there in the Gold setup but it still is (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ndsebetaforum.nsf/topicThread.xsp?action=openDocument&documentId=5D6F306DB9AFA23785257B2B0046AB72 http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ndsebetaforum.nsf/topicThread.xsp?action=openDocument&documentId=5D6F306DB9AFA23785257B2B0046AB72) but does nothing…

Thanks. But one question remains: What is the Connections option in the Notes setup good for?
