I would be interested in this. I am personally opposed to anything Google so would probably have limited direct interaction with the Google Docs.

Generally, Google is bad at privacy and ethics? I'm not sure what her problem in specific is though.

I have no idea if this is something Foolscap in particular had in mind, but Google recently partnered with Autism Speaks to start putting together a library of autistic kids' genomes, obviously without the kids' permission and almost certainly with no ethically acceptable goals in mind. If I wasn't already in deep enough that switching off of their stuff is super impractical, I'd certainly be boycotting them. :\
