Google has provide something in Google Docs and Google wave that most people don't even think of as a need but there it is, hidden under the hype - they track every change you make and when you make it. If you decide that some change you made was a mistake you can go back to before you made it, you can just back out of the change or you can copy part of the previous version back in. This is something that software projects have been using for a very long time, seeing it come into non-technical development is a welcome change.
Maybe it is because I'm a little shy when it comes to technology, but I like the idea of just sticking to good ole fashioned email when it comes to collaboration. I've heard that Google Wave can really do some amazing things, but it takes people a while to get used to new technology like that. Email has been around long enough, that we know how it works. Base camp does sound like it could be very handy, but I don't really want to pay for something. Google docs is pretty neat, but it sometimes feels like a chore getting people to check that all the time. I may just have not worked on large enough scale projects to really know the benefits of all these programs, but for now, I think I'll stick to email.
