Hi Mark,

I'm the lone tech writer at my company. I usually involve the marketing
manager in reviews towards the end of the project to make sure that nothing,
especially in section intros, conflicts with the marketing message. Usually
her changes don't affect the concept or how-to sections at all. This may be
because I specify what I want her review to concentrate on.

Hi all,

...Since I am the lone documentation guy, it seems I would have to review
these documents (which means rewriting it totally). I am wondering who all
should be invloved in the review process.... My feeling is the marketing
guys should not be invloved since we have seperate documents for them, like
product description documents. Any views on this approach?


Regards,
Mark
