Natalie, I don't think users can edit w/o a Google account. They can look however. http://documents.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44677 Depending on the user sophistication, you might tell them to just create a Google account then have it forward to their regular Email address.

I have created a Google Docs spreadsheet with self-sign-up schedule for our organization and sent it to the mailing list of members. But now I realize that not all members have google accounts, and it seems one cannot access a google doc without having one. Is there any other options besides asking everyone to open a google account? Thank you for your help, Natalie On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 8:19 AM, Charlie Balch <charlie@balch.org> wrote:
Thanks Stu, I neglected to mention that we found Google Docs very helpful for division planning. Historically faculty pass around a SS in various versions to decide who is going to teach what or have lengthy meeting. We uploaded the SS to Google Docs which makes life much easier. Charlie

We used Google Docs to great effect when organizing the 14th Ward of Pittsburgh for Obama. While PA went 54-46 Hillary, the 14th Ward went 60-40 for Obama. We had over 700 members on our team, orchestrated daily home cooked meals for Obama staff for 2 weeks, and turned out 140 volunteers on election day to get out our vote. The Form feature of the spreadsheet was particularly nice, but so was sharing documents to distribute the work over a larger organizing team.
My wife was so impressed, she blogged about it:

That is true, but they still have to use some email address to join and use Google Docs. And these addresses are available to people sharing documents with one another.
I think you must have set Google Docs up differently from me. I've just had a look at a Doc that someone has shared with me. I can see the names of those it's shared with & can send an email to them, but I can't see what their email address actually is. I've had a look at one that I'm owner of, and I still can't see the email addresses of those I've shared it with, though clearly I needed to know them in the first place.
To get back to the original question, I've used them with other staff to work on conference proposals etc., and a colleague has used it with his students, so that he can have access to their drafts (if they ask him to) before their final coursework submission.
That said, I prefer Zoho docs, as I think that you can do more with them. However, I have just had a look at one (a wiki) that I've shared with others, and that is showing their full email addresses.
Re. the 18 issue ... the students that I work with are 18+, so at least we're over that hurdle!
