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.

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.
Subject:What I've learned on this list 101 From:Paul Hanson <PHanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 27 Dec 2000 14:18:15 -0600
Our process for updating documentation is to route it to me. Our trainer saw
me in the lunch room today and said, "I was looking at your document because
I'm teaching a class about it tomorrow [to in-house staff] and I have some
changes. Do you want me to make the changes or can we get together this
afternoon to make the changes so I have it for class tomorrow?"
I said, "Go ahead and make your changes. It's more important that the
content is correct for your class tomorrow than it is for me to adhere to
our process and make the changes myself. We can get together next week and
go over your changes."
> Ideas, suggestions, comments, solutions, etc. appreciated.
