Greetings...

I am on a documentation team for a collaborative writing editor at
Carnegie Mellon, and am interested in hearing some opinions.

The editor allows multiple authors or editors to create columns next to
original text.  Comments or changes may be made in these columns, and
then "linked" to the original text so that a printed version allows
comments to remain next to the text which they reference.

There are various editing capabilities:  find and replace, search, move,
the usual cut/paste/multiple paste features.

As writers, what features do you imagine being important to such a program?  

The basic program is written, and we're now looking to suggest to the
programmers some pertinent features they might include.  Any comments
would be greatly appreciated.  Please email me directly, as I don't get
here often.


Thanks in advance,
Brian
