Aye.  I like using a WikiWiki for that sort of thing.  Easy to post
to, easy to search, keeps things tracked and organised, easy for
others to reference and add to, etc.  I like TWiki in particular for
this sort of thing (twiki.org) as it does revision and access
control, and installs with a base set of TWIki'd documentation.
