Hi all,

I need advice on a project we are working. 

Here are the requirements:
1) Implement a domain wide employee directory for all the users.
2) The directory should be a separate group.
3) The group should also be available on Android devices. 

Keeping the requirements in mind, i have looked at Domain shared contacts 
API which would be ideal in this situation. The only problem with domain 
shared contacts is that, they are not available as a list on the android 
device (Shared contacts are searchable on the android device).

The second solution is to write the employee directory as Google contacts 
for each user using Google Contacts API. Problem with this solution is 
managing too many contacts. (Ex: 250 Employees - 250 X 250 = 62,500 
Contacts). The number of contacts to maintain increases exponentially with 
the number of employees.

The third option is to write the employee directory to an admin account and 
then delegate the contacts to all accounts. In this option, i am not sure 
if i can delegate a particular group and also if the delegated contacts 
show up on android device.

Please advice me which solution is better and also if there any constraints 
you foresee in implementing that solution. Also if there is a better 
solution, please let me know.
 
Thank you,
Prahari
