I've used Google docs both internally and with clients with great results.
I've worked not only with Word docs, but with Excel spreadsheets & PDFs on
Google docs as well.
One of the features I've found helpful is that when a person with access to
the docs makes a revision, an email is sent to all who have access with a
link displaying the changes in highlights.
There's also a nice feature that allows backtracking through the revision
history to see how the document has evolved.

Hi Ulrike,
Two tools you could use to gather all of the comments in one place are
ActiveCollab or GoogleDocs.  ActiveCollab has a Discussions section that's
good for gathering team comments, and Google Docs allows you to create
online Word docs.  Either method can be quite effective for gathering
feedback from remote team members in one central place, and then allowing
everyone to access comments provided by others to prevent duplicate
feedback.

Hope this helps,
Matt

Hi,

I am the team leader of a group of eight people that has been put in  
charge to create processes and standards related to the website  
redesign I am working on. This will group will have to create and  
approve a fair amount of documentation that includes text documents.

Any suggestions how to best organize the creation and review of those  
documents? If they review one after the other, review will take too  
long. If they review at the same time, how do I best consolidate all  
comments? There are several writers in the group who rewrite a lot.

I am also working on a team operating agreement and wondering if I  
can include this review process in there is a simple form that  
everyone will understand.

Many thanks,

Ulrike
