I've been toying with building a system that combines a wiki editing
process with Sphinx tools allowing a group of people to write books
using restructured text. FLOSS Manuals (http://
en.flossmanuals.net/) does a similar thing. I was going to use this
system for writing a Miro User Manual and a Miro Development Manual.
There was a GSOC project for Sphinx to allow for inline comments
through a web-site. Did that project succeed? I can't remember
enough about it to find details or status. That would be a useful
feature, too.
I know what you're talking about but I haven't seen an update about it
recently, so I'm not sure.
I haven't registered with Bookoven, so I can't tell what it does or
how it does it. I do think this kind of thing is interesting.
There are a few details in their FAQ (http://bookoven.com/faq/). The
"Bite-Size Edits" feature for proofreading was particularly novel.
They also generate several digital formats from your manuscript,
although it isn't clear how much styling or what type of markup is
supported.

Has anyone tried the service http://bookoven.com/? It sounds like an
interesting experiment in collaborative editing of long-form works.
There's more info in this interview of Hugh McGuire
