I think it is dangerous; you now get two possible point of failures.
So one advantage of the shared-folder approach is that it should be
very easy to download (via screen-scraping, if necessary) the design
documents on a regular basis for backup purposes.
If we go the Google Drive route, we WILL have a person at UW who will regularly export (Google has a decent export to .doc capability last I looked, is this still true?) our design docs out of Google and archive them on AFS here in the CS department alongside the backups of the htcondor-wiki database.
I agree with Igor, we cannot have all the wisdom of the design docs in one basket or left up to Google's business whims. But I think a local backup archive would sufficiently mitigate this possibility.
