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.
While I disagree with this statement, but I do understand the reasoning. A
person with little or no knowledge of the topic can bring the new user
perspective and provide somewhat of a usability test for the document. I
think this approach only works on very simple concepts. There are some
topics, such as system development or database concepts, that force you to
assume some prerequisite knowledge. What I prefer is for the technical
editor to have knowledge of the topic but also be able to understand the
topic as a new user would.
