Top Ten Things You'd Like To Tell Engineers

[Steven Oppenheimer <Steven -at- OppenheimerCommunications -dot- com>]

I recently joined the IEEE, which is the professional society for 
electrical engineers, and I've already been roped into doing a presentation 
sometime this Fall.

My tentative topic is something like, Top Ten Things That Tech Writers 
Would Like To Tell Engineers, So We Can All Work Together Better.  Now, not 
to take the lazy way out -- I have plenty of ideas of my own for this -- 
but surely I'm not the only writer who has a few things I'd like to tell 
engineers about how they
can help us to help them create better documentation.  So, if you have any 
ideas (it doesn't have to be ten), please send me an e-mail to 
Steven -at- OpComm -dot- com -dot-   Simple, one-sentence ideas are fine, but on the other 
hand also feel free to elaborate in a few paragraphs.

After the presentation, I will post a consolidated summary here on 
Techwr-L, and hopefully IEEE will post a summary as well.  Thanks in 
advance for your help!
