I second that. Where do we go to see examples of stellar, "best of"
technical writing?
Does the STC post publications that have won their awards? (I know,
DAFS. Just thought that could be one of several resources somebody
might list.)
Thanks,
Steve
PS - Thanks, Karen, for asking this one -- I've been wanting to know
this for a while.

Greetings,
Being a lone writer, I often wonder if my work is keeping up with the
latest and best trends in our industry. Would someone have examples of
really good software and/or Web-based user guides they'd like to share?
Feel free to share your own if you think it meets this standard. I just
want to see how I could be doing things better.
Thanks.
Karen
