Google Docs

Hi all,

Since we are using google for the Listserv and Blog, I though we could also use Google Docs -- you can collaborate on documents in real time or over time, including Word and Powerpoint. It is a Beta app (under construction) but looks pretty useful. Talking through documents on Skype could be a good way to go, and spare a lot of emails back and forth and so on...

Take a look: Google Docs

Remember that all communication goes through offshore servers (US) and is viewable by Google themselves (although we can restrict public access on Blog, Listserv and Docs -- make them by invitation only). For that matter, everything sent through cyberspace is (potentially) viewable by any number of parties. So for that reason, no confidential data regarding project participants, etc., should be posted at Google.
It is more a tool for sharing information, planning, stories etc... it can really help get things done more quickly and efficiently. And can be fun!
