Hello everyone,

I'm new to the list and have searched the archives but didn't find the
results I need.

I've done tech writing for web sites and university mainframe software. 90%
on-line help or training documentation with 10% development and system
requirements documentation. I've either worked on teams that had yet to
develop standards, or as the lone writer who had her own, relatively
informal standards.

I am now working with more complex software and a team of writers and
trainers. I would like to develop a documentation standards guide to address
usage, style, naming conventions, templates and more; to be used by the doc
team, development, and possibly other teams. I would also like to develop a
formal documentation plan for the new product we are developing.

Does anyone have any examples of a standards guide or documentation plan
that they can share with me?

Thanks,
Jessica
