Doc$ v. Dev$

[John Garison <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

Greetings all.

In the past, we've had some discussions about ratios of writers to 
developers, but I'd like to carry it a step further. I was asked this by 
my manager today, and could only try and extrapolate answers, so I'm 
turning to you all.

What is the ratio of dollars spent on documentation to dollars spent on 
developing what's being documented?



I await your replies ...
