That was one of our  problems as well.

The way I figured it, people were filling up notebooks and such with 
information. I just wanted them to put it online and share it.  Some 
people are better documenters than others.  I tried to make it both 
simple and flexible.  some people will just cut and paste text with no 
formatting at all and that's fine.  Most, however, actually use the mini 
wiki markup language to build reasonably well organized documentation.  
You really just need one or two people to lead the way by example.  the 
informal nature of it helps a LOT with a group like this.
