Move manuscript to proper document editor

[msrosenberg]

So I've quickly read through the entire manuscript and made a few minor edits (and added a temp figure to the intro), but before I go back and tackle it more fully, I feel that it's time to abandon the wiki model and move to a lead-author model.

Our two primary options are Word and Google Docs. I just discovered that, as of December, Google Docs has a track changes-like option. It's called "Suggestions" and you can turn it on via the Editing menu (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2473185,00.asp).

My "suggestion" is that we transfer the manuscript to Google Docs, allowing us to have synchronous editing when necessary, but also have change tracking on (as long as everyone enables it). If everyone agrees, I'm happy to do the grunt work of the transfer. I'll set up the Doc, do a more major editing pass, then invite everyone (you may need to send me the email address you prefer to use for Google Docs).

Googledocs is good with me.

Fine with me.

I'm OK with google docs. Eventually we'll have to go to Word + DropBox, right? But I think that should be put off to as late as possible to avoid clashes.

Google Docs works great.

I'm in the process of doing this now. Will close when I'm ready to invite everyone else.
