<h2>Foreword</h2>

<p><cite><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/qa-handbook/">The QA
Handbook</a></cite> (QAH) is part of the QA Framework as redesigned for
simplicity, user-friendliness, and usability. A big part of that is providing
tools and templates to facilitate and accelerate spec authors' work. This is
an illustration of a principal such tool/template -- the QA Process Document
(QAPD) Template.</p>

<p>For the purposes of the 22-Nov-2004 publication of QAH, the present
version of the template should only be considered as an illustration. It was
originally designed for the content of <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-qaframe-ops-20030922/">CR OpsGL</a>
(<cite>Operational Guidelines</cite>). While most of the template content is
still applicable to QAH, it has not yet been completely synchronized with
QAH. More importantly, the building of the interactive form template -- which
is intended to be the principal version of the QAPD template -- is still
underway. Synchronization, as well as completion of the form, will be done in
the near future, as time and resources permit.</p>

<h2>Template Versions</h2>
<ul>
  <li>An interactive form template is the most usable and user-friendly. A
    sample is at:
    <ul>
      <li><a
        href="http://www.w3.org/QA/2004/08/QAH-qapd-form.html">http://www.w3.org/QA/2004/08/QAH-qapd-form.html</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>An alternative user-editable text version will also be provided. A
    sample version (corresponding to the old CR SpecGL) is at:
    <ul>
      <li><a
