Sharing modifications of a document among a plurality of authors includes publishing the document using a service that is accessible by at least some of the authors and propagating modifications by a first one of the authors to other ones of the authors by sending change information to the other one of the authors, wherein the change information includes a pointer to the document, an indication of the modifications, and an identification of the first one of the authors and wherein the change information does not include the document. The service may be a cloud service. Change information may be sent using email. The identification of the first one of the authors may include a routing ID, where the routing ID facilitates locating the first one of the authors on the Internet. The routing ID may be an email address of the first one of the authors.
