hi, sorry sent that out before i'd finished writing.  Here's the  
thing:  I'm trying to collaborate with a non-technical colleague.  I  
can get him to use openoffice, but command-line manipulations are a  
little beyond him.  Also, I'd like to be able to browse changes in a  
manageable way -- i'm not sure how easy it would be to dothati n git  
with zipped files.    I'm trying out o3spaces, but it seems *very*  
heavy -- on my ancient server box, the java process eats up memory  
(300M+ out of 512M), and the 'workplace assistant' takes a toll on my  
relatively quick laptop.  I keep hoping maybe there's a solution that  
will work from within openoffice, but maybe there isn't,  and i'll  
have to just use google apps.  Anyway, thanks as always for advice!
matt
