Guidelines for Authors

• Functional Specification Template
• The design specification is meant for consumption by ARCs, Docs, QE/QA, SEs and other developers who may need to understand the workings and interfaces of UC 2.0. The goal is to document the design of individual subprojects of UC 2.0 in a consistent way, by using a design specification template. Sections 2 (Technical Description) and 4 (Sub-component architecture) of the ARC Template (Sun Internal link) is used to achieve this consistency. Authors should at a minimum fill out section 2 to describe the subproject. If the subproject is of a large enough scope, multiple copies of section 4 can be used to document the individual components of the subproject.
