place for design docs

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi all..

i'm wondering if it makes sense to have a place for design documentation 
somewhere (sounds like an obvious "yes!" but ..)

the question is "where" and what form they should take.

i'm not looking to create a "document the design of plasma" project, which 
also needs to get done i suppose, but to create a repository for documents on 
things that we've designed out and will be creating.

e.g. with the wallpaper one, i'd love to see a 

plasma/design/proposed/wallpaper

with, more or less, the contents of the wallpaper thread in it. once 
implemented it would be moved to, e.g.

plasma/design/implementations/wallpaper

questions:

* would you find this useful? (i know i'd enjoy the historical record, it would 
allow us to build up a set of design documents while we work on things, and 
would let us keep track of designs even when we haven't started coding them 
yet which is nice for those who might like to get involved)

* where should we host them? (first instinct was the wiki, but then i thought 
inside the source repository itself  ... the latter can be more easily 
accessed offline. both are easier to find things in than the email archives)

thoughts?
