The Dolphin Gmail project just kicked off yesterday with the first team meeting.
Although the meeting was short, we covered a lot of ground, including:
- why we're going with Gmail (more storage, better features, reducing cost)
- who will be involved in the project, and their roles (to make sure we're not missing anyone important!)
- scheduling a good recurring meeting time (we'll probably meet every week, at least to begin)
- choosing our domain names
Choosing domain names: this seems to be pretty easy. We're creating a few DNS entries today and setting up a test domain for our pilot group. It's likely we will use "@my.csuci.edu" as the production domain. The only gotcha is that the domain my.csuci.edu is currently in use by our quasi-portal, myCI. We're going to check with our Google account rep to see if this will cause any conflicts (hopefully it won't!)
We're on our way to Gmail!
