I've used wikis in game development before- they can be an excellent resource to be used alongside the game design document.
All the technical information about the game should go in the wiki. By giving each Class, Scene, Script, etc its own wiki page, it provides a logical way to list dev info such as animation lists, functions and their access levels, UI elements, and anything that's relevant. It also makes all this info accessible and easy to search.
One of my first tasks this week is to populate our wiki with some basic pages and categories. From there, other team members will be able to fill in some info about character stats and the level generation algorithm. The wiki will continue to grow alongside our game design info!
EDIT: We've now integrated the wiki with Slack- team members will now be notified of any new pages or edits!
