For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm in the software industry, so we are usually looking at
full-length manuals, and we do not do anything more than
read them. It is a little difficult to thoroughly review
manuals with the person sitting right there, as the impulse
is not to ignore the person. I have taken the manuals back
to the person and asked questions about them, but otherwise
we do not review in front of the writer.
