I see that Google discontinued development of Wave (son-of-EtherPad) for standalone use some time ago due to low user adoption.

I just started using Google Cloud Connect. It solves the multiple version problem for me in a way that seems reasonably secure for work stuff and it lets me use Word.

I liked google documents, I really like cloud connect. But to be honest, I am not sure two parnters working on their bidding system need the ability to both edit their system notebook at the same time. But what the hell, cloud connect is great for collaborative working on grant documents with an impending deadline, it must be good for last minute changes to system notes.

I tried using wave for some collaborative work-related stuff. I found it abysmally slow and thus useless. Perhaps this new thing will be better? we'll see.

EtherPad was open source before it was swallowed by Google, so you can still use it, e.g. http://titanpad.com/
