This may sound a little complicated, but surely it'd be possible for users
to type out documents in Microsoft Word, LaTeX, or whatever they wish to
and then print it to a print queue on a linux box, by means of lpr,
smbprint, or netatalk's papd, and that print queue would pass it to
ghostscript to convert into a pdf file and dump it into a shared directory
for distribution or something along those lines *breathe*.

I suppose the problem then still lies in how somebody else is to actually
edit the distributed PDF... Hrmmm, bugger. Keep thinking...
