Subject:Mapping your help From:LaVonna Funkhouser <lffunkhouser -at- HALNET -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 16 Mar 1994 15:37:56 -0600
Not too long ago, we had a discussion about mapping
out your online help documents. Unfortunately,
the discussion occurred before I knew I was going to be
assigned to an online project, and I don't think I kept
the posts.
So...How do you map out your help during the planning
stages?
If I remember correctly, some used a chalkboard, some
used a white board, and some used paper and Post-It
notes. Please describe these methods again.
Thanks. I'll try my best to compile and post to the list
if the responses come to me directly.
