I created a VERY basic plugin for Eclipse that is another tangential way to tackle the very same problem. I call it "Doclinks" - I just open sourced it recently, but haven't gotten around to announcing it or improving it. The idea is to hook up documents (actually, URLs) to the living code using rules. With this, you can define "areas" or "types" of code based on rules, link them to architectural concepts, and so on. You could even filter to see only those files that relate to the document (e.g. a specific feature). If you're interested, check it out: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/doclinks/index.php?title=Main_Page I'd love to hear more about people working on this specific problem (how to quickly ramp up new developers on an old project).

I spent 3 years supporting and modifying a vendor Employees Time Recording application after the vendor company was no longer available to support it, so I could relate to this. BTW, step 1, you bought a time "recorder" and there was a pattern among all "interviewees" Very good thoughts and very well organized Amir.
