Google Docs in Plain English

Part of "leveraging new-media for a rapid transition to sustainability" is the ability to "work smarter, not harder." This means cutting repetitive work. As we have been bringing our vision for EQ from the vision to the manifest, we have been collaborating on many documents. I'll save the details of our experience, as I think it is well represented in the following video. Now, as you get close to formatting the final product, the robust nature of local programs (like Keynote or Excel) are indespensible, but in the collaborative information gathering, synthesis, and wordsmithing phase, a collaborative document protocol like the one sketched in this video could be a more efficient and effective way of working together asynchronously (i.e. not at the same time).
