latexdiff, combined with an svn (or cvs *** Aack! Thbbbt! ***)
version archive of your files works very nicely.
I have taken part in many grant writing sessions, some lasting months,
some only days, and we very successfully use LaTeX with a repository.
It happened to be cvs, but I highly recommend using Subversion (svn)
instead.
This allows all participants to throw in ideas initially, but as the
deadline draws near, you can restrict commit (write) access to only a
core group, finally narrowing it down to just the PI, if you so
choose. This makes it very easy to handle external letters of support,
images, tables, or other data items that are coming from disparate
sources and affords you a very simple tool for pulling everything
together.
The other benefit of doing things this way is that the next time you
go after that proposal, or something similar, you have all the parts
and pieces nicely saved in a repository for easy re-use, rather than
one final wordprocessing or PDF document that may have had resized or
reformatted original data.
