Our websites have become more functionally rich, thanks to Ajax, Flash, Flex and the like. But our documentation hasn't kept up. We need rich documentation to match the rich experiences we're now able to provide online. In this discussion, we'll explore what wireframes can still do, plus new forms of documenting including lo-fi animations and state diagrams.
