Do you plan to move the stuff into a Fossil wiki, eventually?  I find
Google Docs problematic enough that I typically avoid them -- and, when
there's nowhere else to get the information, I just make a local
plaintext copy, so I don't have to deal with Google Docs any more than
necessary.

I agree with Martin G.: that's scary.

. . . and if you're using enough Google stuff, some people *are*
probably "watching" everything you type (for some definition of
"watching" that involves running keyword identifying and text pattern
analysis routines).
