I can't believe the sheer amount of FREE online applications. I have just learned so much from this programme. The video explanation for google docs reminded me of the wiki video. Similar goals in online sharing and editing.
My workplace however would require much more control over their documents. While google docs ensure that everyone is looking at the same version, I couldn't tell if past versions were kept in history, or if there was tracking for who made what variation to a document. I also don't think this sort of application would suit the forms required for legal purposes. FOI for example, where's the papertrail? We live in a highly regulated world, particularly if you work in any level of government - and that includes most libraries. I think these applications are great, especially for informal use, but I don't see them working in places that have legal requirements for document tracking and security.
