Massively Parallel Documentation Development

I have a software idea for you that is FREE--wetpaint.com. Wetpaint is a free wiki. You can set it up in five minutes. The content can be anything you want.

I'm using it right now to begin documenting the core processes of the Meet the Geeks technology networking group I belong to in Western North Carolina. See http://meetthegeeks.wetpaint.com/.

Its real power is that anybody with permission can add content or correct errors. If you are trying to assemble documentation where there is none, you could give each person on staff writer privileges and ask them to document procedures on some schedule you give them. You could have a gatekeeper and editor, but it makes possible massively parallel documentation at a low cost.

Anybody who has basic Word competency can use this thing. (It doesn't use Word, but its simple editing tool set looks a little like some Word features.
