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.
Many companies, such as Cisco, put user documentation on their
web sites so it can be easily downloaded by customers. I suggest
you try downloading some hardware and software user guides from
various companies and skimming through them. This should give
you some ideas both on what to do and what to avoid.
Here's a link to the Cisco documentation site to get you started:
