The document discusses the development of guidance material to help NASA implement its software engineering requirements and best practices. It describes: 1) The creation of an electronic handbook on the NASA Engineering Network to provide guidance on NASA's software engineering requirements and examples/templates. 2) The process of gathering input from NASA's software community, prioritizing topics, and developing the content for the handbook. 3) The benefits of an electronic handbook such as easy updating and searchability.
