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.
Need to hear from some tech writers if possible. I know I'm not nuts, but I sure
am on my own here.
This week, the company decided to change the name of all the software (4 pieces
+ admin guide - not huge/complex software, but enough). The deadline is Friday.
Tonite, Wednesday, I've finally got a build with _some_ of the new names and
icons (there are new directory paths, dialogs, names of most of the software,
etc, plus the actual changes in the software).
I just made a stink 'cos I heard someone wanted to change the name, path and
reference to yet another internal piece in one software. It happened to be the
one I'd just - finally - spent an hour + trying to create in paintshop, since
it's not _really_ finished.
I'm now being treated as the heavy, cos I've said we can't change anything else.
This is so far beyond absurd - I've just now got 1 of 4 Help systems mostly done
- but I need to hear it from someone else.
anyone?
cheers
