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?)

Nope—it's just the only thing I could think of that would make it easy for many people to collaborate on one big project. Actually, there are some drawbacks to using it. For one, I'm having trouble formatting the cells the way I want them.

Here is a link to that special operations document. Have a look and tell me if you think it's a feasible format.
