Hi Toni, Good info. I have some questions for you though. I went to your members link and clicked on "join group". It took me to a form that had a box at the bottom to agree to terms and conditions. I read the T&C and it was for use of groupspaces, not the office connexion. Also, it asked if I was already a user of groupspaces and if so, I could just log in without filling out the form.
How does this affect what you are trying to do? Do you have to go through 2 sign ups? one for groupspaces and a second for the office connexion group? I'm just wondering as I'm evaluating options too.
