Consistent document layout

Each page has four types of blocks: header, index, content, footer. All pages have headers and footers. One or both of the index or content blocks will be present. If a content block has multiple parts then each part starts with an "pair of eyes" separator that look into each part. Navigation links are present in both the header and the footer.

Set expectations for document quality

Documents that are still being developed are marked at the beginning of the header with .

Orient users that jump into the middle of a document

All Fresco documents start with the Fresco symbol in the header, which is a link to the beginning document for exploring Fresco. This is followed by a section title.

Indicate new information

New sections of information are marked with . The is use to mark bullets that lead to the new sections. New information are things that have been added or changed in the last month. Each document has the date that it was last changed at the end of the footer.

Encourage user feedback

The top level document contains a quick wish form so that users can bip off a wish with very little overhead. The quick wish format that we are trying is:
I wish that I had found in these pages.

Each document also solicits comments and questions by giving a home page and e-mail address at the beginning of the footer. This is the format that we use:
