Collaborative work on Docs

Hello all it's me again, and again...

Does anyone have any experience with tools that allow multiple people to work on
a particular document at the same time?

Looking to allow two people to access the same document from different locations and make changes. Possibly with those changes taking place at the same time, and have the software or whatever handle the version control for us or something fancy like that... :confused:

Thanks for any advice!

If you're talking of a specific file-type, like Microsoft Word or Adobe Illustrator: That'd need a specific solution. Since, basically, people _open_ the file and only get other people's changes when they re-open it, losing their own changes, or they're overwriting other people's changes by saving their changes... Hmm... Old problem, no solution?
 
You could always distribute pdfs of the doc to the people in question, have them mark their changes on the pdf in yellow note form and send those two pdfs to one person who then makes the changes.
 
I concur with Satcomer - download SubEthaEdit - it's realistically designed for collaborative coding, so it's not equipped with rich text features, but it's very good with the collaboration for the text itself - it allows Rendezvous - so it's insanely easy to set up.
 
Thanks for all the tips guys.

One problem I have with subtethaedit is that it doesn't support Japanese fonts, and the project I am doing is Japaense to English translation, with a group.

I'm going to have a look at wiki, thanks!
