Re: Tech Writers taking minutes

[Doc <dlettvin -at- attbi -dot- com>]

Sorry, one more clarification --

Louise's gender had nothing to do with taking the minutes. I do it
myself. I also volunteer myself and my staff to write or edit Product
Functional Specifications, Marketing Requirements Docs, and Release
Reviews.

I consider it a good way to keep an eye on the changes and the effort
required is less painful than having to fix things at the last minute.

I HATE being in the critical path, especially after the target release
date.
