The 'single pane of glass' is pretty seductive and there are a lot of tools that try to sell that vision. Backstage looks a pretty good swing with their modular/flexible approach, though I haven't used it. The problem you end up having is that (for example) Google docs is really good for writing and commenting on docs, and a general purpose tool is never going to be as good as Google docs for docs. You could write a "Google Docs" plugin and just link out to a project's google doc but then you're just a link aggregator which offers limited usefulness.
