However, if it was put into a version control system like Subversion, people could download it from the repository, edit the document and then send you patches. You (or others you delegate) would review the patches and approve them or not and fold those patches into your copy and then commit the changes to the repository. I think this could become pretty painless with the right tools (I use the command line, myself though). This would allow more than document text suggestions but things like typos, styling, inserting links, etc. Regards, Jeff
