[TYPO3-hci] Documentation for Projects

[Søren Schaffstein]

And exactly here lies the problem. We're not talking about "possibility" 
- in this newsgroup it's about "usability".
Person A creates notes on every page where there is something to 
explain. Person B creates on page full with notes - but you need to find 
this page. Person 3 creates a hidden page somewhere and places a content 
element with all the info there.

So in my eyes it would really help to have some kind of BE-module which 
could be something like the help which keeps this system documentation 
at one place for every installation.

Maybe I can build a sample screen of what I have in my mind to make the 
idea clearer? Anyone interested?
