Usually when we want to modify something, we do the change on our machine and just upload the new version with ftp, hope it'll works (or that nobody will notice it doesn't the time we correct it) and that's it. It's already not the best way to work alone but even less to work coll...

I need document collaboration tool that provides an API to allow me to embed document collaboration onto my site

I need to enable my users to collaborate on document creation. I initially thought of using a wiki system where users can come in and start a document and other users can pitch in, give feedback, rate it and so on.
