How structured is your content? • Should you push documentation from the source into your documentation? • Does the documentation need be visible on the web, or does it need to be private? • To what extent do you want customers to have a one-stop- shopping experience — reading docs, logging support tickets, posting to forums, viewing news? • Do you have UX resources to help you build a solution?
