> -------------------
> 
>   Calendar sharing:
> 
>     Proposal: to set up a new Google email account and use that

>     Any software that can synchronise against ical format should work.
>     Software known to work includes Thunderbird, Outlook, ...
> 
>     This already works for other groups; Andreas knows more.
> 
>     Proposal accepted.
> 
>     NEW AI-10.18.a: on Michel: contact Andreas to ask how to configure a
>                     Google calendar.
>     NEW AI-10.18.b: on Ravi: undertake necessary steps to get a public Google
>                     calendar.

>   Screen sharing:
> 
>     There is a public service at glance.net:
>         http://www.glance.net/
> 
>     This service does not support Mac OS-X.  There was no clear
>     statement whether they would support Macs in the (near) future.
> 
>     Another alternative (Centra) was mentioned:
>         http://www.saba.com/centra-saba/
> 
>     The consensus view was this is currently a low-priority item, but
>     might be useful in the future.
> 
> 
>   Document storage:
>  
>     Proposal: that we make document releases (suitably packaged) and
>               that these release are made available using the "file
>               release" section of GridForge.
>     
>     Noted that the file-release section in GridForge is under
>     utilised.
> 
>     There are lots of documents in OGSA.  If someone doesn't have an
>     explicit reference to the document they are interested in, it is
>     easy to get lost.
> 
>     A further advantage of making documents available through file
>     releases is that the issue tracker can be used against document
>     releases.
> 
>     Question: does the document exist in multiple locations?  We would
>     need to be careful that released documents don't change over time.
> 
>     There is a feature for locking releases.
> 
>     Also, there is the concept of a "document version" which
>     auto-increments.  There is also a "latest document".  Normally,
>     this updates automatically to match the document with the greatest
>     document version but this behaviour is adjustable.
> 
>     The consensus was to use file releases and issue tracker to make documents
>     available and to track issues with documents.
