Another good approach is to produce a set of images and put them into a 
document with a short explanation of design decisions - to avoid 
unnecesary questioning (maybe it could be in the online wiki).

We use this method, I usually do the hw + documentation and the other 
guy makes the firmware, supplying a table with the pin functions is also 
niceand helps him a lot.
