Hi all,

Totally new to this, about to embark on a development for my own business 
and think that GAE is the perfect solution. I basically want to make sure 
that we are making the right choice, and to be informed of any pitfalls 
early on.

Basically the system will be a complete intranet/sales tool based around a 
rather complex pricing engine. I have previous experience using Codeigniter 
+ Doctrine, but after tinkering with v2.0 for a while it just seems like it 
is very buggy, and still has many limitations over using Java.

We already use google apps for mail and have a simple intranet built on 
google sites so users will be using their company email account for 
validation.

There are a few key features we need:

   - Small number of users (~100)
   - Integration with salesforce.com (Using the force.com API?)
   - Integration with Gmail so that the system can automatically log and 
   send emails, as well as pick them up. (Using IMAP/SMTP?)
   - Ability to upload and store basic files that can be downloaded by staff 
   (Using docs API, or just datastore?)

If anyone can advise of any things to investigate right now that would be 
really helpful.

I have quite a few years experience programming, and a willing assistant 
with a bit of OO knowledge, other than that I will be learning to use things 
like JDO and JSP for the first time.

All of your input is appreciated.

Drew
