I agree with other posts that a wiki would be nice. However, I'd recommend
trac w/ subversion. trac is a project management system which integrates a
wiki, subversion, and a ticketing system. It is particularly nice because
the wiki can link directly into the svn (code) repository, so the code can
easily be integrated/tied to wiki documentation.
