Read This before the next post...

A quick note about a Google tool that allows you to share or publish forms/letters/reports to the internet for sharing or collaborating.

This is supposed to work with No Webguy required!

What can you do with Google Docs?http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=49008
to upload a document: Go to Google.com . Create your own Google account, or log in to your existing account. Then go to the "documents" page which is found under the "more" tab at the top of the google page. Click on "upload" and browse your files to find the docment. Upload your document. Then go to the "Share" tab. Chooseto "publish" the document to be shared by the public, or "share" the document with a specific list of readers. Individual names can beauthorized as "collaborators" if you wiish them to have access to editing the document. In that case you are sent a notice any time arevision is made.
Once uploaded, your document can be edited by you or designated 'collaborators". It can be viewed by invitation or setto be viewed by the public and can be linked from emails or webpages.
This gets past the issue or the viewer needing any particular software.

Example of document published to the web:http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgf4zx7b_0fq2tjgdqUsing these tools any show organizer should be able to publish their own documents!
Enjoy the day!
