Technical Document Review
Notes:
- EOWG review of technical documents should focus on understandability, approachability, and ease-of-use. Look at the introduction, abstract, background, use cases, and other such sections. You can usually skip the technical sections.
- Make sure the Overview page is linked early in the Introduction and in the Abstract, as appropriate.
- Have a pretty high "filter" — that is, we usually will comment only on significant issues and not bother with minor things.
- Remember these are technical specifications/standards and have a different audience, format, and purpose that EO docs.
- (If you have comments on technical aspects beyond the education & outreach perspective, please submit them yourself.)
- Please write your comments as we would submit them as formal EOWG comments to the public-comments list.
- Clearly indicate where in the document your comment applies. Provide a link to where it is in the document.
- Briefly describe the issue.
- Provide suggestion for revision. (EOWG can help refine this, but please provide a draft.)
- See EOWG - Comment effectiveness e-mail
- (Optionally, you can include additional notes for EOWG consideration or discussion.)
