Documentation system

[Smokey Grindle]

We are trying to find a system that would be good for a development team to
share documentation on our .net solutions throughout our company. Does
anyone know of any systems out there that are good for handleing information
such as lists of what's changed, whats being worked on, what documentation
was recently changed, and a way to browse documentation like a book maybe?
Im not talking about the inline documentation comments in the souce of
projects I mean a full featured documentation system... thanks!

Hi,

Sandcastle provides a compiled help file (.chm) for assembly documentation
in the MSDN format, including xml code comments:

Recently, I created an Add-In for Visual Studio 2005 that integrates
Sandcastle into the IDE using a C# project template. In other words, it
allows you to create a documentation project that, when built, creates a
single compiled help file for all of its project references:

You can use SharePoint to create a team portal where you can collaborate and
publish the latest documentation:

Visual Studio Team System can be used to provide a development environment
geared towards teams with task assignment and tracking, a SharePoint team
portal and source control on a central Visual Studio Team Server. The Team
system has different flavors for various roles in an organization, such as
Developers, Database Administrators, Testers and Architects.:
