Integrating Zoho with Google Apps for Edu

I'm looking right now at enabling Federated Login using OpenID to allow Google accounts to access Zoho.  Has anyone used this successfully?  Did it break anything?  We are using Zoho Projects now to manage our Groupwise to Google migration.

Dual Delivery for Groupwise and Gmail

I'm trying to set up the test group for mail delivery between Groupwise and Gmail, anyone have a best practice?

In Groupwise, what about a "Delegate" email rule?

Add an Email Subscription button to your Blogspot site

Here's how to add an Email Subscription button to your Blogspot site using Feedburner:
(assuming you have a blogspot site and a Google login)

1. log in to your blogger account, this will also allow you access to feedburner
2. go to http://feedburner.com
3. where it says "Burn a Feed Right This Instant" there is a box, type your blog address in the box
4. on the next screen, enter a title for your feed: use your blog title, also choose RSS for your "feed"
5. from your Feedburner control screen, click on the title of your blog
6. you should now see the controls for your feedburner info, press the "Publicize" tab
6. click on the Email Subscriptions section
8. pick a language (like English), then scroll down to "Use as a Widget" and change it to read Blogger
9. you'll be directed back to Blogger, where you press "Add Widget"
10. you'll now be directed to the "Edit Layout" section and the "Subscribe Via Email" box should be added

Gonna test some Phones

As part of our migration from Groupwise to Google Apps for EDU, we will be phasing out our BES server. We are now getting ready to compare the Droid (G1) and the Nexus One (N1). Can we use an unlocked Nexus with a voice-only plan, but use our internal Wifi for data? One thread is here
