Agreed.  One of the reasons I like a wiki for internal doc is that you can 
just drop the notes on the page and come back later to add, format, 
rearrange, fix, etc.

I find that going in and fixing documentation can be a relaxing Friday 
afternoon acitivity if you're too burned out to solve some deep technical 
problem :)   Does that make me a geek? :)
