I expect a Tome Lead to provide the facilities for others, possibly on
his time, usually on other teams, to keep their documentation
up-to-date. I also expect a Tome Lead to work with the other teams to
get them to write their documentation, publish it (e.g. to the wiki,
possibly generated through doxygen, bashdoc, or others from code already
written) and prod them if they forget or lag behind.

I do not expect the Tome Lead to write all, or even much, of our wiki,
internal documentation, or web site code/text.
