a wiki could work, with some discipline, though there are F/OSS web apps out 
there that provide a built in work flow. Suse's openFate for one and whatever 
it is that Canonical uses for their task proposals (part of launchpad?) for 
another.

per-class notes is a bit more fine-grained than what i was thinking. for 
something like the KComboBox example you provided, that might be part of a 
larger "identify widget class in libkdeui that are candidates for merging with 
Qt" and it could contain a list of those widgets, brief summary of target 
funcdtionality and the rest could, as you note, go into the apidox.
