A piece of software that we desperately need is one to manage the
documentation process.   How can people "register" for authoring a
class, and allow others to see who is working on what, and so on.

Our current effort is being hampered by lack of good tools.  We are
currently using a bugzilla bug to track things, and we depend on people
posting there or on the mailing lists things like `Am doing XXX' 

Such a site would help here.  A feature we could implement is a
`timeout' feature.  In which we would return to the pool of undocumented
classes those that have been claimed, but never contributed to.

Miguel.
