If I could ask a favor of folks compiling such documents: Please post these to a Wiki. Wiki-like interfaces are far more readable than 'shared' documents. Wikis are also inherently designed for collaboration with complete history (thus automatically working around vandalism).

Edited to complete a sentence.

I agree. Wikis are a much better choice for this type of thing. They can also take a bit of time and effort to maintain against vandalism.

I recently picked up http://startuptacklebox.com to start collecting this kind of information on a blog. I've started to realize that a) I don't have as much time as I thought I did to research and summarize regularly, and b) a WordPress blog might not be the best option for collecting this information together.

If anyone would like to talk about building a persistent repository of startup-related advice and tools, drop me a line at jon@startuptacklebox.com.

Very. Email sent.

same!

And wasn't there just a posting the other day for GitHub's new easy-to-setup wiki software?

I have to agree that Google Docs is not the appropriate means to getting your point across and allowing people to edit your ideas. It just never seems to work out well. Love the idea though!

There are a couple of wikis already up. At the risk of showing people a project I'm not ready to launch yet, here's a list of general libraries of information (a meta-wiki of wikis):
