I have to agree with Diane.  I sent a white paper out over a month ago and
STILL have not received the editorial comments from the CTO or the VP of
Eng. after countless reminder emails.

While there ARE a lot of people around here to read my docs, the difficulty
I find is find people who are WILLING to spend the time it takes.

One idea I have been toying with is starting a Documentation Review Team.
Find just one person in each relevant department, the person should have a
clear understanding of what is required of them i.e. review schedule.  There
should also be a commitment from the individual to do this for you.

For instance my team would be one person from each of these departments:

Engineering (actually two people one for the front end and one for the
backend)
Operations
Prof. Services
Marketing.

That would about cover it.

Wade
