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.
Judy asked about this for her university computer center.
Judy, we are doing a similar task with our large document set.
The kind of person you need to look at this is not a writer,
programmer, nor academic.
You need to talk to a Librarian. A genuine Library Sciences
major. They know more about info organization setup for
retrieval than anyone.
I brought a Librarian on our team right away, and she is great!
Good Luck, Ms "Document"!
