I know a lot of our docs process is on the Wiki, and formalizing that
stuff makes sense, since it's not often going to change.  For subjects
like the examples you (Greg) mention, I would think that trying to
formalize that stuff would be like trying to herd cats.  Just look at
all the changes in the last six months alone!  I doubt we need to insert
ourselves into that particular work flow.  Is there stuff on the
development side of the house that's a little more static, and would be
a good candidate for formalization?
