Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone out there is working in the world of hosted applications. You know, the kind that are delivered on the web through a browser rather than on a CD shipped to clients.
This may be a massive new trend as Application Service Providors (ASPs) become more the norm.
Software as a service rather than a product.
My question is, anyone working on such a thing out there, and how are you handling it, what are you experiencing, etc. when developing help systems for it, or documenting it in general?
