Writely Sign-ups

In case you hadn't heard, C-Net announced Google welcomes Writely sign-ups:
Five months after being bought by Google, the Writely online word-processing application is now open for anyone who wants to sign up and use it. Writely has been closed to all but its existing members since its acquisition by search giant Google in March. But last Thursday, Google allowed anyone to join and make use of the hosted word-processing application. Writely is a hosted word-processing package that enables users to edit and publish documents online.
When I first introduced you to Writely, several commented on the software's potential utility, especially for group projects. If anyone has been using it, please let us know about your experiences.

Writely may work well enough for the individual writer but it fails miserably for collaboration.
A) There is no automatic notification of updates.
B) While I can see each version, there's no markup in the version to show me where each person's change is, and who made it.
