Not much to write here... just some ramblings...
I've been thinking (in the back of my mind) about having a central web presence for my immediate family members. Everyone is all spread out, and it seems that email addresses tend to change, and rolling my own solution for calendars and access is a real pain in the... well, you know.
I started researching this a couple of weeks ago. I needed something that's easy to use (because the family is all about user-friendly interfaces) and to administer (because I'm going to be the administrator).
I think I've settled on Google Apps. Gmail gives you 4 GB of mail storage, and provides both POP and IMAP access for downloading email to your desktop/laptop for offline viewing. Google Docs and Google Calendar round out the suite by providing online creation and storage of rich text documents, spreadsheets and presentations as well as event planning and scheduling.
Now all I have to do is figure it all out.
