The NYT uses docs to author interactive articles that don't fit nicely in the CMS.

I've missed that workflow a lot (comments and edits are amazing!); I just open sourced a tiny library that saves a doc as a text file.

In addition to using Google Docs for articles that don’t fit nicely in the CMS, we also have our internal newsroom wiki powered by Google Docs, too. We’ve open sourced the code for that here:
