Group Editing a Document

Image via Wikipedia

Group Editing is now becoming increasingly important as more and more people are interacting online and most of the time not sitting under one roof. To work on a document, the slowest format is to edit a copy and then send it to one or more persons who are willing to work on the same document and then wait for them to edit it and give you a green signal to edit it.

Wikipedia can be used to edit public documents that are copyright free.

Google Docs is one service that can be used to group edit a document.

CompareMyDocs.com  is a free service that displays the original document with colored blocks with collaborators suggestions which can be accepted or rejected alongwith hiding or showing the comments. The service is still in beta and only works for simple documents without images and hyperlinks.
