Gmail for your domain is a new service that Google is requesting beta testers for.  The beta test will let you give Gmail, Google’s webmail service, to every user at your domain.  The service comes complete with a 2GB storage limit which is odd as my personal GMail account currently has a 2.6GB limit (and growing every day).

The presentation side of the blog uses libgmailer (gmail-lite project) to connect to GMail and uses XML/XSLT for the look and layout.
