I love using wikis for docs, since they greatly lower the barrier to entry (and, erm, we need that to be looooow to make sure there *are* docs) though I struggle with how to fit versioning that into the SDLC along with our other artifacts - which makes me really like the idea of Maven sites, since the (java-centric) way we release programs would fit well. What does everyone think? How do you tie wiki docs with projects if they're not versioned together. Curious as to how people have worked out on this front.

Basically when u start to explore them, Enterprise Architectures are a set of mulitple semi-structured facts all linked together, just like.... erm... Wikis. With EA by Wiki you wind up with pages about each application, installation, communication link, infrastructure element and standard within an organisation, all easily searchable and accessible and not stuck in some propellor heads brain or only known to the guy who quit last Tuesday. Ive started developing a prototype which can be access from my new blog on the subject at http://eabywiki.blogspot.com/ but it is still early days, and im using a free public online wiki for the demo. The lack of structure can be overcome with easily available good templates (the SP2007 Wiki doesnt really have this but its good in other areas) and a little bit of editorial oversight.
