My new boss, the Director of Development, wants us to add more content to
user manuals. In-house we'll be taking classes and spending more time
working with both programmers and trainers to accomplish that goal. In
addition, he's assigned several of us to locate and attend a seminar on
"effectively capturing software application functionality content. This
class should focus on how to best extract meaningful information from the
source and translate that information into a content rich documentation
suite that is very useful to the users." (His words here, not mine.)
