I’m really looking forward to this project maturing: Nautilus support for Google Docs.

During his 12 weeks at Google’s Summer of Code this developer managed to integrate Google Doc’s cloud with Nautilus, so all your docs can be browsed and edited on Linux just like normal documents. This is how I imagined cloud computing working, where the document can be accessed both locally and remotely, and all the cloud docs can be easily backed up like any other file on your system.

I’m particularly interested in the fact that all the docs appear as OpenOffice files.
