Well my 2cents, we have created a Google Domain this year and we are
trying out a centralised calendar that can be synched out to Outlook,
Thunderbird or Entourage(?) automatically by subscription. So far so
good and is restricted to just those members of the domain to edit and
you can display in various ways to allow for some privacy censorship by
grouping you users. Plus it give you all the Google apps and full admin
control over their use. So far so good and it looks very promising. I
don't think we'll be ditching paper diaries anytime soon though.
