Hi,

This may fall into the realm of some ideas already mentioned -- along the lines of a "to-do list" or workflow management system, but I'd like a separate area where multiple authors can jot down questions, comments, suggestions for revisions, actual document revisions, etc. so as to have a common area for brainstorming/collaboration before/while making changes to the document itself. This area would help keep the working document more clean, since users could vett ideas before they get incorporated, and the overall scope would be kept more clearly in mind when composing. Individual author comments don't currently provide the same kind of structure and can get lost in the shuffle. The group I'm working with is currently using email to fulfill our need for this kind of space.

Thanks for your consideration!

For more process oriented documents, I'd like to be able to create simple reusable workflows that I could apply to my documents.  For example, I could create a review workflow where the document is created/authored in step 1 (by users I specify), then there is a review step, if the document is approved, then the workflow is complete, otherwise it goes back to the authoring step.

What would make this even better is that in my review step, I could set up a review meeting in Connect Now that gets associated with this step.  When a document is moved from author to review, a meeting gets created in Connect Now were assigned reviewers can review the doc in real time together.
