If your collaborators are used to the versioning available under 
Microsoft Word, they'll find that Google Docs doesn't offer the all 
the tools of Word versioning, or look just the same.  But Google Docs 
gives you the basics -- seeing earlier versions, reverting to earlier 
versions, and highlighting the changes from a previous version; and 
it's fairly clear how to use it.

And of course it makes collaborating *much* easier than emailing 
around Word files, and keeping track of who has the right to edit, 
and reconciling parallel revisions when that inevitably happens.

Test it, see if you, at least, like it.  It's better than manual 
versioning, anyway  :-)
