We have decided that we need more time to prepare before we have a public conversation about whether or not we should implement Google Apps for Middlebury College. As you can find on this blog, we have developed a set of preliminary analyses of the issues that surround this potential shift, but we believe that in the interest of using everyone’s time effectively, it would be better to postpone broader conversations about this possibility until we have spent more time clarifying the significant differences that exist between these platforms, and have also factored in recent developments from Microsoft and others that provide interesting alternatives that were not part of our initial evaluation plan. Please feel free to engage the materials already posted (via comments) to this blog and stay tuned for an update on our plans to engage the community in this important conversation.
