In order for your modular project to mesh seamlessly, it's important that all the components adhere to a set of standards. Among the things you should consider standardizing are:

•      Which templates or cascading style sheets your documents and help files are based on

•      Which styles are used, for what, and how

•      Style customizations

•      Typographical conventions

•      Help window designs and usage

•      Indexing

•      Frequency and type of hypertext jumps

•      Use of graphics

•      Tone and style of writing

You should also ensure that, if you are using a centralized glossary, authors do not attempt to add terms to their local glossary, but instead place their terms in the central glossary.
