<DIV></DIV>>I have been planning to suggest this as well, but I would recommend setting
<DIV></DIV>>up a zope site...
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>If you set it up in zope you can have alot of collaboration very easily.
<DIV></DIV>>You could, for instance, designate certain people who have expertise in a
<DIV></DIV>>certain config/technology as project coordinator for that area of
<DIV></DIV>>documentation. As well you could, as with any other system, create areas
<DIV></DIV>>for specific technologies etc for the purpose of being easy to navigate.
<DIV></DIV>>And of course the main benefit is the ability to have as many people
<DIV></DIV>>collaborate as you wish, and still maintain organization of data with very
<DIV></DIV>>low administration. Have a look...I think it would make all of our lives
<DIV></DIV>>much easier.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>www.zope.org
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>example site
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>http://www.openparadigms.com
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>allows you to create an account and post pages etc...
<DIV></DIV>>
