Hi Ben, You may be able to get away with using Google Spreadsheets to store point data, but I'm not quite sure how you would handle polyline geometries. You may want to look into the http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/mapsdata/ Google Maps Data API , which basically exposes the My Maps storage platform. Alternatively, you could have your editors use Google My Maps to edit a collaborative KML, which could be referenced in your OpenLayers application.
Depending on the scope of your application, you could use PostGIS or even MySQL Spatial to store your VGI. You'd still have to write some scripts to spit the data out of the database in an OL friendly format (KML, JSON, etc). I guess a lot depends upon how sophisticated your data collection application needs to be and what level of information you are trying to collect. ----- Bryan R.
