Re: Estimation of Timelines for Documentation Projects

[Goober Writer <gooberwriter -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Generic numbers don't work. Time depends on the type
of document/resource you're creating, the subject
matter, the depth of coverage, the access to
in-the-know people, and many many other factors.

Same goes for a developer.

Saying a writer can author 100 generic pages per week
is like saying a developer can author 10 components
per week.

Or like saying I can come up with one cohesive
argument per week. ;)
