Jamie,
We have been using a wiki extensively. It has
1. added a great deal of agility to my documentation process. I start
with x level of documentation and add/edit as the need arises.
2. The other thing that this has helped me is to document my patterns
in one place and link them from appropriate points in the rest of the
documentation.
3. versioning is simple now, wiki always has latest info, with files
people tend to look at their local files
Specifically on documentation of design details, I have used two models:
a) Keep each page as an image and label parts of design elements and
explain those in text below. In this model developers need to keep
moving back and forth between design and the documentation.

b) Second model is where I have integrated the documentation with the
design using arrows, flow diagrams etc. http://alok.ajain1.googlepages.com/Filters.png
Both models have been effective with different developers. You should
see what approach works for your developers - they are the internal
clients in this case.
We also use basecamp for any discussions we want to be alt to track in
future.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Right now our small team is communicating UI changes and enhancements
with developers using PowerPoint mock ups with notes. I am concerned
this will eventually backfire and would like to bring a little more
formality to the process.
Is anyone willing to share their UI spec document and/or
recommendations for putting together a spec? I have used the PayPal
format before but it has been a while and I don't remember everything
that was in it.
Since our team is very small I don't want to bring about a lot of
paperwork just something to make sure we have all of our bases
covered.
Thanks,
Jamie
