Love using Docs as a source. A while back I wrote a service[1] which creates an API using Google Drive and Docs as a source. Docs are naturally pages, and the Drive folder structure builds the hierarchy/tree of pages using a pretty simple naming convention (Mainly for ordering). The CMS/collaborative aspect is great. Some things that aren't ideal are:
- Seeing print-style page breaks in docs
- Formatting images. Although, having Google host them is nice
- The html Google Drive generates is inlined, inconsistent, and pretty nasty. I resorted to using markdown in Docs.
Another solution that I explored a bit was using the google docs api. It returns a Json structure of the doc. I just used the drive export as a shortcut but you could totally create something neater with the drive api.
