Document editing, remote collaboration, tracking changes

Submitted by Lopes, Luiz on Thu, 02/12/2009 - 1:13pm.

Hello,

One of our faculty is looking for a
product to work on updates to her textbook throughout the year with her
co-author who is at a different location. These updates are published as 2
yearly supplements. She and her co-author should have the ability to log in
from wherever they are and work on a master document in which changes could be
tracked.

DeltaView has been mentioned. Do you have
faculty using it? What do they think about it?

Is anyone using something else with
similar capabilities? Any recommendations?

 

Thanks for your input,

Luiz

I just got a tour of Acrobat.com. I haven't written up the tour for Lawyerist, yet, but I was very impressed. The one thing lacking in most online editing apps is smart quotes, the lack of which will make any professional document look like crap. Acrobat.com promises to add smart quotes soon.
As it is, Acrobat.com is less customizable than Google Docs, but the interface is beautiful, and it works really well for collaboration.Still, I think Google Docs is the better choice, but it will take some time to go and fix all those quotation marks.

Google Docs is excellent for this purpose.
