Subject:Software engineer tech. writers? Do they exist? From:Dossy Shiobara <dossy -at- panoptic -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Sun, 2 Sep 2007 16:28:27 -0400
Are there software-oriented tech. writers who are also software
engineers who can read through C source and write documentation
based on what it does?
The C code in question (AOLserver) is very clean, well-written and
organized.
Is there any hope in finding a tech. writer who has the necessary
skills to help document such a project, or am I just dreaming?
