One solution, which I hope to try soon, is to create a PDF file in Adobe
Acrobat and put that on the net, allowing everyone to review it at once.
The annotations can be done in Acrobat Exchange (part of the Acrobat
package, but may require a separate license for each reviewer).
Alternatively, there's a third-party plug-in called Re:mark which seems to
have more extensive, and better, annotation capability than Exchange.
More info on it is available at: http://www.pluginsource.com/acrobat/remark.html
