[Python-Dev] A suggestion: Do proto-PEPs in Google Docs (original) (raw)

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

That's funny because I would expect that for most people it's the exact opposite... just create a gmail account... boom, done... I'm not necessarily advocating that but just saying that IMO, most people will find google docs to be the "fastest" and "easiest" solution.
