Not that I'm expecting to be working on PEPs any time soon, but just as a different perspective, I would find the effort to open up Google docs to be a much higher barrier to doing some editing tweaks than the dvcs case. For the DVCS, I'd just write a little script that would (1) update (2) open the editor on the file (3) do the commit/push dance when the file was closed. So for me it would be as easy as editing the file locally. So for my work style, a DVCS would be the biggest win. --RDM _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
