I love BuzzWord but it is falling just shy of being my one stop answer to The Source Code, our Open Source Religion at RedefineGod.com. And I think the area I am speaking of could be causing the same dilemma for others.

The problem with online collaborative documents is too many chefs in the kitchen and very little leadership to say "This is where we are going, and no, your idea does not apply." I mean having even just a handful of people editing one document at once is very chaotic.

The answer is a voting area. Somewhere that people can submit ideas or paragraphs of text to be voted on. The best rise to the top and gain "acceptance" while the rest linger around the bottom.

The lead author then has the ability to integrate the best ideas and blocks of text. And yes, basically it's a lot like this AcrobatIdeas website.
