guslWriting a paper with other people is often a struggle, even with version control. Your content magically disappears. You find glaring contradictions. And you have 2 minutes until the deadline!
I'd love to see a collaborative writing system based on annotating your text with weightiness. The higher the weight of a passage, the more they should consult you before deleting it.
Your co-writer's quirks, terminology, etc can become progressively more annoying. After 1 or 2 rounds of revision, decisions should be made about which terminology to use, and which terminology to avoid... and the text editor would bleep a big RED WARNING whenever someone uses the forbidden terminology (suggesting the correct term).
