Thank you. Your response finally made sense to me. For the past
seven years I've primarily written user assistance, so I haven't
always followed your arguments for data-flow diagrams. I'm envious
that you seem to have the luxury of time to do such a complete
analysis. I already do some of what you're talking about, but not to
the extent that you do. And without the fancy names. ;-)
This list is a fantastic resource for me. More than once in the past
couple of months I've managed to look like a hero at work, due to some
snipped I've gleaned from y'all. We all have very different
audiences, contracts/jobs, customers, and deliverables. It's
interesting to read what different people are doing, what issues
they're running up against, and how they're solving real life
problems. I need as many tools as possible in my toolbox, especially
now that I'm a sole writer.
