: My intrepid assistant Lee (we really need to give him a proper animal nickname...) has managed to finish up the mandates page format and has made some suggested changes to the SSSF format (mostly people disliked the guidance notes, stating that they were unclear and confusing), but the conversation seems to have stalled a little after a request was made for a changelog. I know Lee has a busy schedule at the moment so it's my hope that he'll get something put together relatively soon to give us a guide to what he has changed.

By the way... the changelog is up now with the rest of the revision...

The point of the revision is to help those without a firm treknical knowledge and guide them in their design and format process... so if you're thinking about designing a spec, or have even a passing interest in the Engineering Department, I encourage you to have a look.
