On Monday November 18 Constance Lewis will speak to us about documentation. In preparation for that class, please answer the following questions. Mail your responses to her at conlewis@earthlink.net with "Bolker class" in the subject line. And bring hard copy to class for me.

This assignment is due Wednesday, November 13.

1. Find (or write) a page or two of good documentation and a page or two of bad documentation.

2. What makes the good documentation good and the bad, bad?

3. List the participants on a software project who are responsible for the quality of the documentation, and describe briefly what the responsibility of each participant is (or should be).
