In big scientific projects we are now using Google Docs.
Although not a totally Open Source workflow, it does provide the possibility of using it in any system we personally work and makes sharing and editing documents from various parties much easier.
For me, this signals a paradigm shift at least in academia where we would normally use open source in various places, but revert to Office to write collaboration documents and proposals (and even scientific papers in some areas like biology).
- mkesper 9y agoWhat will happen when Google stops offering that service (like they did with so many others)?
- jbmorgado 9y agoWe keep all the finished documents in a document managing system in more than one format. There in no danger of loosing those even if google shuts down Google Docs somewhere in the future.
