atw: Re: Writing a Wiki Article on Documentation Standards in use in Australia.

Hi Nikki
 
There is (was?) an Australian Standard for the software user
documentation process (it was AS/NZS 4258:1994 - and according to this
is still is:
http://www.saiglobal.com/shop/script/Details.asp?DocN=stds000012058). 
 
It may help in the generics, but a doc that is now 13 years old could be
out of date with some of the electronic delivery methods.

in Australia.



 

Does anyone know what the documentation standards are for Australia?  Or
is there a global set that we can access .. ?

I alreadty have the Wiley Style Manual, Sun Microsystems Read Me First!
and Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications in my toolkit
as well as Strunk's elements of Style and so on

 

I am curious to find out if you have any other tools, books or documents
that you are willing to list for me to continue my research in this
area.  

 

Thanks

great!
