Re: Deep integration of Google Docs
Personally, I think it’s different enough from current group docs to merit it’s own plugin. My plugin is more geared to locally-created documents of all types, and people are mostly using it to share existing PDFs. I should actually broaden the marketing of my plugin some, because it can be used for all types of media.
My primary concern with adapting the current Group Docs to use Google would be keeping a consistent user-interface while browsing both. Or making the UI different enough that people don’t get confused. I think it’d be tough, and I don’t see many people using both. I imagine most users would want one or the other.
Great idea though, I’d love to pitch in if someone wants to get the ball rolling.
