• http://hyperscope.org/

• all Java Script (Dojo Toolkit)

• uses OPML

• you run transformers against your non-HTML source/binary documents to convert them

  • the MsWord transformer is written in [CSharp], which I assume means you need the whole DotNet runtime on your machine.

This seems to be a view-only system! How are its users then interacting? I could see having a mainly-single-author document, and gathering email-based comments, taking advantage of the Purple Numbers, etc. But I really try not to write long/static documents anymore, in a StartUp change is constant/random, so freezing a document is pointless. I'd rather use Email Discussion Beside Wiki.
