The boredom in great projects

Documenting an Enterprise 2.0-introduction-project sounds like a great idea. But when do all these fancy thought, cool visions and exciting strategies we imagine really occur?
I had a discussion with a friend yesterday and we thought it might me really cool to document a project I'm running currently. "You should start this now, before things get to technical - all those discussions that helped to bring a decision would be some of the most interesting part." I liked the idea.
Today, when I think about it again, trying to imagine what are alle the posts I missed until now - I have to say that there were no exciting discussions or interesting visions. I never used any buzzwords like Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0. In detailed project-work, I actually even try to avoid using the terms blog, wiki, social media - there are just too many ideas and different vissions connected to them.
But after all - there must have been some discussion. It took me 17 (seventeen) months to get green lights for this project (setting up an international intranet in a financing corporation) - so what did I do all day long?
I did not use the big buzzwords, and I did not use the small ones either. Tags, RSS, Comments, Collaboration - that does not even get an IT manager excited, controllers even less.
The plan we created had to deal more with specific terms and usecases like search, meaning search in the whole intranet, including additional media (which you may call blogs or wikis) or attached documents.
We talked about creating and relating information without having to define heavyweight information architecture for every possible option.
We talked about reusing information in different contextss - be it as relations, as additional links, as news overview or on a desktop.
We talked about finding contact persons, keeping data up to date and adding information to phone book entries.
We talked about ways to introduce lightweight decentralised editing, to deliver content to those who need it without requiring users to browse many pages, and about the heavy use of permissions.
And we talked about possiblities to manage all that, to get users excited and participating and to achieve all this even in times of rough budget cuts.

So probably will still had some fun, after all. So it might be worth keeping up with the documentation-idea...
