Guy -
The entry I found on "white paper" at Wikipeida does not match your previous quote that:
Quote:
Technical: Helps influencers (like engineers) to understand how a concept or technology works.
Rather, it simply states that:
Quote:
Technical: Describes how a certain technology works
While Wikepdia notes that the term "white paper" began to be applied to commercial documents in the early 1990s and does include the technical type, SAE papers are not at all like a piece of gubbamint propoganda or some marketing pitch. SAE describes them, more appropriately, as "technical papers".
Actually, it was I who pointed you to the magazine with that information several years ago:

The problem I have is that, folowing your use of the term "white paper", people start referring to this paper as a "meeting handout" and you're expressing hope that someone else will post a copy by saying things like:
Quote:
If the SAE paper is available and posted here...
...and...

It would be a great addition to the site...
..instead of doing the legwork, like Randy did:

http://www.sae.org/about/intelproperty/ ...where they discuss how they maintain and protect their rights.
