A set of parameters governing the list 222 is then defined. The set of parameters 222 can include a list expiration date 302, a group access parameter, group user identifiers, privileges 304 that group users will have with respect to the list, and a check-out time parameter 514 indicating how long a group user can maintain exclusive access to the list. List items can include text items, audio items, video, multimedia, and picture items. Items can be added to lists manually 406, via a received message 408 or copied from another application 410. In addition, a list can be checked out for editing by a group user.
