New "Google Documents" for Group Script Projects ?

http://docs.google.com/#

It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users.

Discuss ?

Am i missing something? because google docs is not new?

They made some changes, and it's now more real time.
Gobby also does this. ( http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/ )

We don't have that many group projects,
Nor do we really have a need for realtime
and we'd probably be better suited with git anyway ;)

Google docs doesn't have the syntax highlighting

Like typewith.me?

I didn't realize there were so many others, I just saw it on the news, and thought it would be a great idea for group collaborative and or helping/teaching….

It's somewhat like svn my friend ;)

Google docs is indeed very helpful for group work, but not so much for scripting.

Althought there are google svns ;) Google Code is the name.

I just thought the "Real Time" was cool…..for example…5 groups of 5 people, you have 2 hours to collaborate a script…mark, get set…GO….and Judges are able to watch as each script is being written….etc etc etc….

Google wave! Just kidding, but has anyone found a point to Wave? Sorry for the hijack question…

Nope. I beta tested it awhile ago and it was pretty nifty, but nothing necessary. Kinda like when you were a kind and played with a toy a lot for a little, then stopped.
