Thanks for all of your thoughts. I will look into gollem. The clients at school are windows 7. At home the clients might be any number of OS's. Eventually we might be using some sort of tablet devise probably Android based.
see, another problem with a 'file' based solution is editing software... ok, you have windows7 at school... what format are the documents in, MS Office 2010 ? Users at home are going to have a motley mix of older versions and other platforms, possibly not have the same font sets, etc etc. The Google App approach bypasses this entirely, the client editing software is the browser and the google app Ajax stuff. The documents are the same regardless of what platform the user is on.
