Great tip. Short and to the point.

It is nice (and very refreshing) to see that you are practicing what you are preaching - I’ve seen my share of 400-500 pages books on concise writing.

I like everything about your site - the philosophy, the ideas, the design, even the pictures of the authors :)

Even considering buying the book - and I NEVER buy how-to books on the web.

“If there are docs / info needed, just make sure they are well formatted and kept in a place where they can be accessed by people who need them.”

Agree. That’s the other part of the equation. It is surprising how many co’s keep their docs in hard to find places, making each retrieval a project in itself.

In this regard Huddle http://huddle.net and Basecamp shine brightly.

Yep, keep it simple and concise. No need for docs that no one will read.

If there are docs / info needed, just make sure they are well formatted and kept in a place where they can be accessed by people who need them.

Backback by 37signals has an excellent example of this on their newly designed site
