I'm going to be starting a software writing project soon, after having
written exclusively hardware for the past 2.5 years. My project will be
"creating and maintaining System and User documentation for a Corporate
Medical Benefits point-of-service" system. Before jumping in, I'm looking
for any information anyone could provide on writing System documentation,
as it's been awhile for me - books? tips? sample outlines?
I have tried looking for something in the STC publications, but nothing
seemed to be a good fit.
