Anybody using google apps for you domain? Just curious if anyone had some ideas for implementing some of Google's solutions. I'll share mine.
Right now, I'm using gafyd for calendaring. I have calendars set up for every category I need in our school (General, Staff only, Athletics general, etc., etc.). I have set up management rights for each of the calendars so the athletic director can make changes to all athletic calendars, the principal can change all calendars, etc. In my Joomla site ( www.sspatriots.org ), I chose all the calendars that contained public information and embedded them as my site calendar. I took the calendars with staff only information and published them in the same content item. I'm using rokmember (I think that's what it's called, drawing a blank right now though) so that when a guest visits they see the public calendar, when a staff member logs in, they see the full calendar with private information. So only one link in the menu, but both calendars given to whomever has rights to see what. I embedded the agenda view on our frontpage in a module. It works like an upcoming events module. I also embedded agenda views on baseball and soccer pages with their individual calendars so it shows up as a game schedule. The advantage is that any change to a calendar gets published to every location and every person automatically.
I'm planning to move from an Exchange server to gmail for our faculty mail. It saves me the trouble of having to maintain an exchange server and it works nice with the calendaring and document apps from google.
Thoughts or ideas?

GAFYD = Google Apps for Your Domain
You can sign up and point parts of your domain at google so you can use google apps like docs and spreadsheets, calendar, and mail under your own domain.
