> **Revtim** , it’s not really “invitations”; you click “New” up at top-left to create a new document, then click the little arrow on the “collaborate” tab, and click “add or remove collaborators.” You add collaborators’ e-mail addresses, and it e-mails them a password and such. (Adding collaborators adds them to that document only; they can’t access the rest of your stuff on Writely, but you can all freely access and edit that document.)

I see, thanks again!

Might anyone have one left for Celynalba at [gmail.com](http://gmail.com)? Pretty please?

(I had previously thought one oculd only wait for Writely to finish moving house, as it were, but I guess they will run it like gmail with it “supposed” invitation-based system.)

What exactly is this Writely site? I notice too that most of you all have your obligatory gmail addresses. I have a gmail address but never use it, I’m an AOHell junkie.

What’s the hook here?

TIA!

Thank you, **Jackelope** - it looks fun and I DO see a sensible use for it (as well as jsut a fun new toy, I mean) - typing for my Dad will be more easily transferable and I have had enough “death of old cheap computer” disasters that I shall feel more secure being able to use this.
