Hi Miles, I've been following your your project postings for a couple of weeks now and wonder if there isn't another existing project to build on so you're not starting from scratch.
Like Kit, I also use a combination of DropBox and Google docs etc. but lately have started using TeamBox to pull everything together for project collaboration - TeamBox is open source so it can be deployed independent of the hosted service they also provide (for folks like me that don't want to host their own platform) - and handily integrates Drop Box and Google Docs (and GitHub and other accounts).
Also runs in desktop browser and mobile so nails that issue for me too.
Document management esp. version control remains challenging in any collaborative environment.
