Whitepapers usually espouse a point of view, so a lot would depend on the point of view you'd like to espouse. ;-) (I don't recall a Macromedia-authored whitepaper on the subject, and I'd be a little leery of one if so... whenever a vendor discusses Someone Else's Technology there's usually significant pushback, as the example cited here clearly shows: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/jd/archives/2005/10/comparing_web_t.cfm ) Do you know what types of questions the client has, what concerns they have? Focusing on their immediate needs may be more targeted than looking for one of potentially scores of general papers out there. (For instance, some good tacks are to see what types of data they'd want to transfer without resending the HTML page, whether images, or text, or something more... which browsers the audience currently uses and how many would have to be either abandoned or persuaded to use a different browser... whether it's one-shot development or whether the project might have to be maintained and upgraded in the future... these are some of the criteria on which technologies can vary.) Of course, if you've got a CIO who says "Let's use X!" without first analyzing and being able to succinctly describe the problem, then that's usually a bit of a mess from the start, eh...? ;-) jd -- John Dowdell .
