Re: Specs for documentation projects?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

We do two types of "documentation documents."  One is 
a general process document that outlines how we initiate,
plan and manage document projects and defines the required
content.  There's one of these for each type of product we 
document, and they are part of our corporate-level quality 
process documentation. 

The other is a project-specific document that outlines what
type of document will be produced, what the start and end
dates are and what specific support will be required from
the developers and reviewers to meet those dates.  This 
is the document project plan, and it refers back to the general 
process document for those aspects of the project that are
not project-specific.  The project plan can be as long as
20 pages or so for a large document suite, but in 90% of our
projects is no more than a one-page email.
