I had the same idea for a grant writing process in which the various contributors would provide ideas and chunks of text for the PI on the grant (not me) in a shared Google Docs document. End result: "Dear EF: Here is some stuff, could you put it on the Google Docs document?" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I threw in the towel after 2 weeks of that.EFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-1791428390803868992010-11-09T13:29:11.626+11:002010-11-09T13:29:11.626+11:00Story of my life!

But my collaborators act like I am forcing them navigate some complicated labyrinth. I keep telling them: you can write it in MS Word and then just Copy and Paste into the google doc. But somehow the they don't seem to have mastered the technique of copy of paste. I cannot understand how they don't understand this.

Oh right, it's not.<br /><br />I'm always surprised at people's resistance to using google if they don't already have it. Like my very tech savvy mom. We needed to coordinate something on a calendar, but she doesn't have a google account, so she refused to set it up.
