[Air-L] Google Docs Access help needed

[Natalie Scher]

Dear colleagues,

Help needed!!!!

I have created a Google Docs spreadsheet with  self-sign-up schedule
for our organization and sent it to the mailing list of members.
But now I realize that not all members have google accounts, and it
seems one cannot access a google doc without having one.

Is there any other options besides asking everyone to open a google account?

Thank you for your help,


Natalie
