mashup



Google Docs

I think that Google Docs will be quite useful for a working group I am involved in at work. Currently a document with suggested amendments is sent to the group members to consider before the document is discussed at a meeting. If the document was in Google Docs the members could see the proposed amendments as well as the other group members' suggested amendments and comments. By the time the meeting was held some of the discussion would already have taken place via the Google Doc.

It is also handy when working with two seperate computer systems, the library management system and the Council management system. I can access the document on any computer via Google.

I found the formatting was not consistent, but for a working document it was okay. The final document could be copied to Word and formatted there.
