Who wants to make a Google Doc and start this project up? :)Unless you're aiming for irony, you might also consider a free annotation service like http://www.co-ment.net/ :)
I'm sorry, but I have to note that I find co-coment's terms have defeciencies of their own. For example, they don't have a clear retention policy (Google at least lets you permanently delete) and fail to obtain an explicit license to redistribute users' content (which they unavoidably do in providing their service. They seem to be located outside the USA, though, so perhaps the latter isn't an issue in their jurisdiction. That said, critiquing Google using their own services is probably unwise (since they (and co-ment) reserve the right to delete content) and definitely amusing. Cheers, -Nikolas
