I've thought several times during this thread that you guys need a way 
to coordinate with each other.  Email is ok for some things, especially 
short notice changes, but I think you could use a more formal 
documentation system.  Something to say not just what was done, but why 
it was done and how things should be done in the future.

Don't think about getting your job done, think about how the guy who 
comes after you will figure out what you've done.

I used a wiki at my last job and I thought it worked well (for me 
anyway, no one else could be bothered--good thing I'm the one who left 
and not one of them).  David Wilson came up with the same idea 
independently, using a blog instead of a wiki.

Nemeth suggests that every system have a log account and records of 
changes could be emailed there.  Not the best, I think, but easy.  And 
easy to include commands/output verbatim.

I haven't said anything yet because I'm almost certainly more anal about 
docs than you guys.  But I think having a system and getting all root 
users to use it is important.
