Isn't it the good oportunity to try a DVCS ? That was my original suggestion, yes, but Stephen Turnbull suggested Google Docs instead.

I found Google docs to be both very helpful and very painful. It was
helpful because it supports multiple simultaneous editors pretty
nicely. It was painful because I was constantly battered by
inexplicable bugs (e.g. at one point my ability to add comments just
went away). Maybe the closest home grown solution would be gobby,
though the participants would have to manage persistency themselves.

A DVCS would probably work too, given these are almost entirely text
files.
