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.
>I think the author of the "Five Golden Questions" above was probably
describing (some of) what the author needs to know, not what the author
needs to write. My golden questions:
1. The Inquisition: What is it? What does it do? What is its purpose? How
does it work (or how does it do what it is supposed to do)? Why is it
relevant? How do you use it? And more...
2. Who is my audience?
3. How much does my audience already know?
4. What more do they need to know?
5. How long have I got to write this?
Ah, yes. Now these are truly the golden questions.
