You do not even need an intranet if you have access to a shared drive.
"Wiki on a Stick" (http://stickwiki.sourceforge.net/) is a little
self-modifying XHTML file used for easily setting up a Wiki site.

No problem Bill. Happy to help.
In fact, it occurred to me that, just as I sent this off, if you
were in
a workplace environment that used an intranet, to which all of the
contributing authors have access, you could simply set up a page that
they could log into and enter the text to fill that box, then auto
submit it back to you when they're done. Also their Web browser
would do
the on the fly spell checking for them. The whole process could be
independent of the need for any proprietary software and could work
globally, if needed.
In this way, you wouldn't have the lag between sending out Word files
and getting them back, plus all the need to do follow-up E-mails to
remind them of the deadline.
It might even mean that you could track what contributions are done
at a
glance and track any that are missing (even create a Page of Shame
for
those contributors running late).
But, then again, that might just add a further level of complexity to
something that can be resolved so simply.
