When I wrote
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html,
I concluded that Google Docs was SaaS, because I thought the server
did the editing of the files.

However, since then I've learned that the server is just a repository,
and the editing is done on the user's machine.  So I've concluded that
the server is not SaaS.  (It has some other problems.)

I'm working on revising that page because of this and some other issues.
