You’re correct. Notes is the client. Domino is the server and apps can be designed for the Notes client, web browser, or both.

My personal recollection was that originally, Notes was Notes: the client and server - when version 4 was re-tooled for access using a web browser (released as 4.5 or 4.6), an http stack was included ‘on top of’ the existing notes server, which could serve up notes design stuff and data in html - they called this the domino service. It’s since all blended. If any of the original line of distinction between the notes server and the domino http stack even exists anymore…its probably only relevant to the developers.

That’s correct. The code name for the new http stack that ran on 4.5 was called ‘domino’, and they changed the server name to Domino from Notes when v4.6 shipped. Before that it was the Notes client and the Notes server.
Microsoft did the same thing around that time, only they changed the name of their client from Exchange Client to Outlook.

In a perfectly good Lotus discussion, you just HAD to mention the darkside didn’t you? lol
