In Cygnus releng, we had a shared document in CVS that people were
expected to check out and update any time they made changes to anything.
These days, I don't know that I can think of a tool a lot better than a
wiki, but I don't know a lot about wikis.

Unless, of course, you can appoint somebody Documentation Czar with
responsibility for maintaining the document in HTML.
