Re: Resources on estimating documentation projects

[Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Sharon:

So what is the essence of her approach to time
estimating: history (maybe Ok if your doing a
knock-off, but many - maybe most of us - don't do too
many of those)? anticipated page count? number of
developers?

Thanks,

Tony

P.S. You know Sharon, Hackos credits Yourdon as a
source of inspiration.
