Those interested in document collaboration tools may want to check out Redliner (www.redliner.com). It offers many of the features mentioned above along with a single view of everyone’s proposed changes.

Its workflow alerts are a nice bonus because they help keep the collaborative process moving to completion.

we’ll remove the upgrade plan link shortly. instead we’ll notify you to upgrade when you have maxed out your current plan.

the search is a bit confusing now as it currently searches only published documents and not your own – we are working on changing that.

Thanks very much for the review. We love to read your delighted words.

A note on the search. Right now it has 2 functions. When logged in, it provides you your own discussions through autocompletion. The search results then show all suitable public discussions, since you can also use the search when not logged in. But, of course, we take your hint and check on it.

@Heather Google Docs is good for collaboration in the sense that you can share your documents with others, but it doesn’t have this level of sophistication in terms of tracking changes, commenting, etc. I would say that if you’re doing collaborative editing (on a book manuscript, for example) then doingText would be much more useful.

I have never used this feature, but I know that Google Docs also offers collaboration capabilities. I wonder how they compare to doingText. Also, while doingText looks nice, I wonder if more people won’t opt to just go with Google since they are a known brand.
