TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I would appreciate any advice you can offer on creating an outline template
for functional specifications in any of the following areas:
1) System Software
2) Hardware
3) Optical Systems
4) Mechanical Assemblies
Before requesting your help, I've tried the following:
1) Searched the Web using Alta Vista with the designation, "Functional
Specifications" and "Specifications + Functional". The listings were not as
helpful as I had hoped, but I did see a few home pages with specifications,
mostly for software, that gave me a few ideas.
2) Visited web sites for technical communications issues, but didn't find
anything on functional specifications.
3) Used FTP (file transfer protocol) to the listserv for techwr-l to GET
files referencing functional specs, but I must have used the wrong GET
commands because that didn't work.
