Community projects?

My only concern is the need to backup our files frequently, in case someone unwittingly deleted a large section of it.

What do you think?

I have started working in xlsx just because I am quite familiar with it and it is easily portable, but any format able to manage tables, even simple txt, should be okay.

I have never used google docs, but according to your description it fits our needs

(P.S: are you a corporate memeber of google?)
