This is indeed a unique way of looking at the problem. I am not sure
converting from word to Org is the way to go, because vast majority of my
research notes are already in Org. But having said that a good work around
could be to create a crude version in word (ditch the equations, but export
as plain text), get everyone comments, and incorporate the changes in Org
before exporting to latex This will try this in the initial stage of my next
grant proposal.
cheers
