The NYT devs consist of several dev groups and a mix of stacks...some which are business-facing/product, and others that are in editorial (i.e. interactive news graphics).

That is a very interesting idea, but since NYTimes opensourced their ICE editor, I am not sure what Google Docs would provide.
