On another forum I frequent, many of the projects discussed are required to follow the UI. For example, each tab of the home page is a topic.

I believe the members of this forum advocate task-based documentation, but I thought I'd ask:

What method do the TechWhirlers prefer: Task-based or UI-based documentation?

Personally, I do things in a UI-based manner because that is what my clients want.



Cordially,
