I think you would want to combine an open source toolset with a paid service with trained monkeys to bridge the gap. For instance let's say I send a draft out, and receive a PDF markup back. The trained monkey would make sure that the new version is accurately reflected in the repo. As long as I am working natively, then exporting my response back into whatever lame format is desired will be trivial. It's a bridge to a better world and more elegant system.

- zekevermillion 10y agoI think you need a human to manage the import bc any OCR or conversion error could kill the whole experience. Hopefully rhe machines could get us 90 percent of the way there. You know law firms used to employ armies of typists to prepare manual (pencil) difs of paper docs, so there is a certain cultural willingness to pay for perfect results, particularly on larger transactions.
