Re: Document Revision History - Front or Back of the Doc?

[Matthew Helmke <matthew -at- matthewhelmke -dot- com>]

Where I work now, we put it at the front. In other projects that I have
worked on, it was at the back. I don't think there is a definitive "this is
the best way." As long as your readers know how to find the information,
either is acceptable.
