This may sound like a terrible idea at first glance, but I can see several 
applications for integration of Google Code and Google Docs. Some projects 
have todo lists, idea lists, readmes, descriptions, and other similar files 
in their repositories. Getting multiple people together to work on those 
files is often more productive than having everybody work on them 
separately and merging afterwards. The integration could allow you to click 
a button next to a file in the Google Code repository browser, checking it 
out into Google Docs with the permissions automatically set to include 
project commiters and owners. There would be a button in Google Docs to 
commit the file's changes and push them back to the repository. In normal 
Google Doc files (ones not checked out from Google Code), the commit/push 
button would bring up a small window with a list of repositories (perhaps 
grouped by project) you can push to with their directories in a tree format 
beneath them. You could then select a folder under a repository, commit, 
and push it over to the repository. The file would be linked to that 
repository until you remove the link (probably with an option in the 
context menu strip). I see this feature mostly being useful for the small 
aforementioned info files, but perhaps Google Script's IDE will one day 
evolve into a simple multi-language code editor. Then the checkout to 
Google Doc options could be more fit for code files. While I don't like the 
idea of multiple people working on one code file, I'm sure some people 
would find such a feature useful in certain circumstances.
