Using Writeboard to collaborate on the text for our new book

Using Writeboard to collaborate on the text for our new book.

We’ve been using Writeboard to collaborate on our upcoming book about Getting Real. For our previous book (“Defensive Design for the Web”),
we swapped Microsoft Word files back and forth. Even with the program’s
“track changes” functionality, things got messy and confusing.
Writeboard’s been a much more pleasant experience. Now it’s easy to
compare changes, go back to older versions, separate comments from
actual copy edits, and more.

Here’s a look at how we do it (a similar process is used for collaborating on web page copy, promotional email text, etc.):

1) I create a writeboard for each chapter of the book. . . .  [Signal vs. Noise]
