Here are my 2 cents ;-)

IMHO that's where a wiki can help a lot: collaborating on writing and 
refining use-cases or specs (few documents, many tracable authors, instant 
summary) instead of "talking" about them by email (many documents, hard to 
summarize). A wiki has a lot in common with a whiteboard or wall of paper 
which is known to be one of the best ways of collaborating on designs.

There is some content about blocks at 
http://outerthought.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Blocks, might be out of sync with 
the current concept but I think it shows how powerful 2-3 wiki pages can be 
in summarizing/refining concepts.
