Re: Google App Engine

Well I didn't want to announce anything when there wasn't even any
vapor, let alone ware.. My invite came through too. I've set up up a
conduit.net project (app id is "conduit-online"). So far i've added
John S to the developers area. I've not done anything else yet because
we need a plan. I don't really see any advantage to rolling our own
alternatives to Google Contacts/Calendar/Notes/etc, and with only
500mb space in the "live" plugin im not sure what useful data we could
store there.. Thoughts?
