RE: Document serial numbers

["Daniel Ng" <kjng -at- gprotechnologies -dot- com>]

For a multiproduct based company, I guess subject areas could simply
refer to the product name it self i.e
     xxxproduct/man/001/050702

or a subject area could be taken to refer to
     database/faq/001/030402
     tech/man/001/020304
     admin/tra/002/030406

I know there are choices to be made. This has been helpful. But yeah,
with so many documents, its important to get it as 'right' as possible
to avoid having to change the convention later.

You might find it helpful to organize by subject
matter as well, perhaps something like this:

subject area/doc type/number/date (i.e. version)
