Subject:Re: customer feedback on documentation From:wendy_lewis -at- goodyear -dot- com To:caroline -dot- tabach -at- gmail -dot- com Date:Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:01:23 -0400
I added a note to all of my docs that were included on product CDs,
availabe in the software,
and on-line. Never, in 7 years, did I have a single response - customer or
otherwise.
I now work for a huge beaurocratic company and wouldn't know where to have
responses
sent. We are also our own customer here, so the users probably know who to
complain to
better than I do.
If you have specific customers, maybe you could solicit feedback from them
directly?

Do you add a note in your documentation asking/allowing for customer
feedback on the documentation, and if so, what do you write, where and
how?
