Yes, very nice approach. I'm going to adopt it for the next dev cycle
here at ADSK. What's the best Wiki tool?

Gary,

Yes, this is my theory at least.

Of course some documents (ie. user hints, suggestions never adopted as
policy, committee notes, etc) might never make it to the official web
site.  That's fine.  Basically we enforce a reasonable degree of
professionalism and formality on the web site, but the Wiki is a more
freewheeling location for folks to collaborate.

The assigned web team might eventually hand some web documents
differently.
But for us (as a board) I think being able to hack up a document without
it being on the official web site is helpful.

Best regards,
