The manual should be clear and concise. It should be spell- and grammar-checked.

There should be a "credits" section at the beginning which indicates whether any outside resources were used (such as information or code from other webpages, textbooks) and also which team member contributed to which aspects of the project.

The first page should contain some general information on the purpose, features and limits of the software.

The next two pages should be "help pages" for the user. These should not be written like an essay but instead should have some structures (headings, lists, FAQ) that make it possible to find information quickly. But there needs to be a good balance: too many headings, lists, etc may make it as difficult to find things as too few.

The instructions should be not too detailed (such as "open your browser, scroll down to ...,") nor too general.
