A techie's guide to writing technical guides and explainers about online abuse

This is a guide for writing guides that are practical, but also precise, context-rich, and non-reductive, while maintaining analytical depth and technical accuracy. This reference may be useful to those who wish to write such guides, manuals and explainers, as well as those who fund, evaluate, disseminate, or use them.For context, I am a techie who has written (refer to section ‘My works’): Guides on protecting against digital stalking and image-based abuse. A manual on inclusivity considerations while designing mobile and web software. An online learning module on making events safe and welcoming. Technical explainers on these topics from the lens of democracy, rights, and governance (DRG): artificial intelligence and machine Learning (AI/ ML), automation, Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, robots, and drones. This guide may turn into a living document; I don’t know the form it will take yet.I am using the guides I wrote as examples because:  I want to show, not tell. I know the contents of those guides well, so this is the easiest and the least time-consuming for me to demonstrate certain points. The guides I refer to are aimed at both practitioners and survivors and attempt to bridge technical detail with conceptual clarity. I may analyse some good guides written by others later.
