TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
And from Geoff Hart comes
don't do everything at once; do triage - identify most serious problems
that can make the most difference to the programmers; appeal to their
self-interests; remember that "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than
permission;" understand what I can JUST DO (it) and what may have to be
done by someone else's rules.
CONCLUSION:
There have been some major changes in the organization here, which will be
a major benefit to the documentation process. The new manager of
applications is a very capable person with excellent management skills,
especially in project management. She has been my manager the past 10
months and I look forward to working with her, and she loves documentation!
Again, I will be using these ideas and following the advise. The list is an
incredible resource because of the participation and sharing that you do!
Well, little pro-active me must get to work. . . thank you all very much!
