Well the particular situation that I have to deal with at the moment is fairly simple but it would get MUCH more complicated to deal with everything lawyers do but it seems like a good idea to me to get started . .

People,

I am currently helping a friend who is financially stressed with a
major legal drama (child custody) and producing the required legal
documentation is turning into a time-wasting nightmare.  Using a
collaborative tool like Google Docs helps a lot but the the
lawyers are making the situation harder by refusing to use GD and
insisting on sending doc or pdf files back and forth via email (or
paper!)  for commenting - it is a hideously inefficient process.
I thought a mechanism based on Git might work much better ie:

1. The clauses (paragraphs) in an affidavit are split into
separate files.

2. Lawyers, client and client support person (me) make suggested
editing changes to each file and issue a pull request.

3. The client - with the final say on wording - accepts or rejects
the pull requests as appropriate.

The problem:

The user web interface for such an app has to be idiot-proof for
the lawyers (ie definitely not a techie interface or traditional
Git environment) - I think it would be something like a
file-manager listing where a particular file in the repo could be
opened and edited and when the editing is finished a "Pull
Request" button could be pressed and then the client (maybe with
my tech help?) could accept or reject the pull requests in the
normal Git environment.

Given that the idiot-proof web interface would have to be
developed, I would prefer a Ruby and / or NodeJS environment so I
thought this was a good place to start the discussion!  If I don't
get any joy here I was thinking of putting this idea on something
like Freelancer to see if I can get something going for a modest
cost but I would be happier with a community development if I
could generate enough interest.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Phil.
