QUERY: Documentation standards for the telecommunications industry
Subject:QUERY: Documentation standards for the telecommunications industry From:Robin Whitmore <robin -dot- whitmore -at- BLUEDOTSYSTEMS -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 26 Feb 1999 13:41:47 -0800
Cross-posted to the Techwriters and Copyeditors listservs.
I am currently reading JoAnne T. Hacko's Managing Your Documentation
Projects, and read the following:
"...the telephony industry uses publications standards to control the style
and content of publications produced by and for the telephone compianies in
various countries. Their goal is to establish consistent style and
organization of informationm for the technical workforce."
Being a big fan of consistency, and not wishing to rock the boat, I am
wondering if any of you are familiar with these standards and/or where I may
find them.
Thanks much!
