TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
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.
A version of our desktop product is being developed for the Palm Pilot.
Having never written docs for the Palm (though I have done a bit for the
H/PC), I wondered if anybody had any recommendations or tips on writing
standards (do you click or tap, this sort of thing). Additionally, I'd
appreciate any good examples of Palm Pilot software documentation. I've
searched the Web for a bit, and found a couple (including http://www.thinkingbytes.com/download/ThinkDB_Users_Guide.pdf, which seemed
pretty good), but most of it is scant and/or heinously bad.
I'm not actually developing help for the Palm, just supplementary
documentation to be printed or read off the desktop. I searched the Techwr-l
archives but all I found were a lot of posts on carpal tunnel syndrome.
