sites.google.com
I often work with people geographically distributed in several countries. This mainly works using a lot of emails and instant messaging and the occasional phone meeting. For writing, we have once or twice tried Google documents but mostly it involves sending documents around by email. This is not really ideal, though. Locally at BiRC we keep documents in a version control repository, but we do not have a distributed version of this, and in any case it would probably require too much from most collaborators.
But now Google’s come up with a new feature: sites.google.com.
From the add, it looks like a “google CMS”.
I think I’ll sign up for this and see what it can do…

Please share with us your findings, I was thinking just the same when I read about this new service online. Currently we really only work on papers serially which is not ideal…
