Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there in technical-writing-land has the
magic answer to what is the best way to receive comments from
developers/engineers on the documents you write.

Specific questions I would like answered are:
* Is there a good method for an online review. For example, for
help files, we don't want anyone mucking around with our .RTF files -
what are other options for adding comments to help panels?
* How about an online review of FrameMaker documents - is there a
tool that we can use to put "post-it" type notes on the document pages
but that are easy to delete from the document afterwards?
* Do any of you use the method of printing out documents and
asking the reviewer to write their comments directly on the paper?
* How have you dealt with the "unresponsive" reviewer?
* How do you ensure that you do receive comments back from the
reviewer in a timely manner?
* Do you have any examples good and bad experiences with reviews
of your documentation? Please share!

Thank you for any information and help you can give me.

Sincerely,

Visnja Beg
