I found Google docs to be both very helpful and very painful.  It was  
helpful because it supports multiple simultaneous editors pretty  
nicely.  It was painful because I was constantly battered by  
inexplicable bugs (e.g. at one point my ability to add comments just  
went away).  Maybe the closest home grown solution would be gobby,  
though the participants would have to manage persistency themselves.

A DVCS would probably work too, given these are almost entirely text  
files.
