Related: Many cool collaborative Google Docs/Spreadsheets have begun here on Hacker News. It regularly impresses me when I glance at my Docs list and see them constantly updated/floating to the top (recent timestamps), getting more orderly and valuable over time.
This is a pretty cool concept. Collaboratively writing a book using Google Docs. I could see a similar effort happening when new versions of Rails or other technologies come out. Currently there are usually 200+ different blogs that all write about small things that are different but a general user has to go hunting to find all the new info.
OMG! OMG! I'm being downvoted by both females and their pussyboys, you know, the males who will valiantly protect any female, in any situation, against any male, just because of that slit between their legs, even if the protectors have no chance of getting some. Those two groups easily cover more than 99.9% of the human population.
It's somewhat ironic that I'm being downvoted on a simple response to a comment on an article about GooglePlus, the same service which was reported, on the same day, to have banned certain people for saying certain things. I better stop, before I get banned from here, or rendered invisible, because I don't want to have to join the ranks of Anonymous ... just yet.
You're barely even offensive, you're just a waste of space. You have an inflated sense of how strongly people feel about your comments. I'm only voting you down because you're noise in my conversation.
I also considered that possibility, but since I don't know the real reason why, and you don't either, I figured I'd go with the more sensational response, especially since the comment to which I responded was also not "very contributive", yet did not get downvoted.
Neither does using a wiki have anything to do with G+. Your original question was about the editing method, not G+ (I think), the person responding to your original question responded to that, and I expanded on that answer.
I suppose the posted article was also really about Google Docs, and only related to G+ because they were using Docs to create information about G+.
