<title>For the Reader</title>
33
<p>Readers are the ultimate arbiters of the quality of a documentation
34
system. The best efforts of the writers and hackers are wasted if the
35
documention doesn't help the reader to find the information she needs
36
quickly. The needs of the reader trump all other requirements.</p>
