Forget documentation.  Automate it!

I wrote a script in 2010 to create and publish SSH keys.  It does
all the steps for you.
- Adds the default or specified public RSA SSH key to the
   authorized_keys file of the specified user@host, so that the
   user can login via ssh w/o specifying a password
- Offers to create the RSA key file pair if it doesn't already exist
- Offers to create the RSA public key from the specified RSA
   private key if it doesn't already exist.
- Sets all the required file permissions on all the files and folders

See:

Enjoy!
