Shared contacts

[greggpb]

We have recently moves from a local Exchange Box to Using Hosted Gmail, we have about 15 email users.. the guys use a mix of the Web client and outlook.
Can anyone recommend a good way to share contacts between users.

That allows the general user to update the contacts.
Syncs across all users.
We can use the outlook or mozilla as a client if we need to ?

Any sugesstions are welcome.. and the cheaper the better

Global Address Lists are part of the Premiere suite and can be found under "Contacts" in the Web Client once the service is enabled

Offline synching these however is not a simple task as far as I can see

There is a full API reference if you feel like writing an App hehe

@PsyWulf, Thanks mate... I have been looking at it and its seems the GAL contact only covers the users internal to your domain. I wasn't to keep shared client lists and the like

Actually it can handle any addresses,I have 5400 clients listed in mine

It can't however share to only select people for instance. So i'd create shared groups for each group of contacts you need,upload a CSV list for the contacts to said group,then wait 24hours for the contacts to propagate through to all the domain users of the Web client
