Thanksgiving tip: Organize the Thanksgiving potluck with Google Docs

Mandy's also using Google to get a handle on Thanksgiving planning:

I'm not lucky enough to have gotten a Google Wave invite yet, but I did use a Google service to organize our holiday. I created a potluck signup sheet through Google Docs with the menu items detailed and emailed it to everyone. They're able to check off what they're bringing and see others' responses as well. No duplicates, no missing traditional dishes! A bonus...it helps me return any dishes and bowls left behind!
