Performance was disappointing but not a show stopper,

The show stopper was that I couldn’t find a simple and stupid login box to the “umbrella” domain for our project, which would direct to a domain homepage linking to all the stuff within the domain (sites, apps etc.)

As a result the collaborators who, I thought, would be able to simple log-in using their existing emails within my domain (resources were set to be availably to everyone in the domain) were lost for hours trying to find a way in… not really most productive scenario, so we moved back to sharing docs by email.

WordPress seemed to have forgotten to notify me of your comment, and I just noticed it when upgrading to 2.5.

I’m sorry to hear about your performance issues. We (the team) was obsessive about performance and I was really proud of where we were @ launch so I’m surprised to hear your reports of slowness. You shouldn’t see response times slower than a second. Are you still seeing issues? I read all the posts to our Google Group, so that is the best path for Sites support.

I wanted to use it for a very simple initiative (writing at article). I went with one domain that I own as a platform (not to use corporate one). I set up 1 site and 1 document. I asked 1 person I collaborate with to join. I expected that she will just need to login with email in our domain and see our stuff right away.

She’s been trying to get in for three days. The front page for apps doesn’t even have a login box (instead it has “solutions for..” links running in circles). She doesn’t know where to start. I have no idea either. I see “start page”, for example, but it doesn’t have links to all the other modules – how to navigate to them, then?

We are strategy consultants so hopefully we are not stupid. I have never seen anything so confusing coming out from Google.

Anyway I look forward to spending more time with GS which I think has lots of potential,
