I like the idea of making it a separate document.....rather than burying it in HELPFUL HINTS. &nbsp;Good call! And [b]Minimum Requirements[/b] sounds good as well.<br />
<br />
Thank you for exceeding the &quot;minimum requirements&quot; of answering an EE question. :)<br />

Dirk,

Thank you for exceeding the "minimum requirements" of answering an EE question. :)

Hi,<br />
<br />
My document suite for a web app contains a HELPFUL HINTS doc, which provides general info about the application.<br />
<br />
I need to list certain system requirements/restrictions.<wbr /> Right now, I have only one (min. browser width), but this list could grow over time.<br />
<br />
What's the best title for this section?<br />
System Requirements (As I said in the title.)<br />
Limitations (Meh.)<br />
???<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Steve<br />
<br />
PS-Hope I'm not overthinking here...I think part of my brain's still on the holiday weekend. :)

Tech Writing - Terms for list of System Requirements. (Can I do better?)

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Technical writing is any written form of writing or drafting technical communication used in a variety of technical and occupational fields, such as computer hardware and software, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics, robotics, finance, consumer electronics, and biotechnology. IT encompasses the largest sub-field within technical communication. The Society for Technical Communication defines technical communication as any form of communication that exhibits one or more of the following characteristics: "(1) communicating about technical or specialized topics, such as computer applications, medical procedures, or environmental regulations; (2) communicating through technology, such as web pages, help files, or social media sites; or (3) providing instructions about how to do something, regardless of the task's technical nature".

Technical Writing

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
