Subject: re: Estimating online help development?
One thing to keep in mind is if you are using hot spotted graphics. Hot spotting takes time......lots of time. :-( Especially if you're doing complex linking with them......<cringe />
Doesn't "Standards for Online Communication" talk about estimating job times? If not, there's got to be some book out there that does.
Hey, Mysti. Where does that coder-to-writer rule of thumb come from? I often hear people quoting "rules-of-thumb" and I wonder where they get them. Experience? Books? Classes? Thin air? If it's from a book, which one?
