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.
I'm seeking some GOOD examples of tech notes to use in creating my own tech
note template.
So far, I've searched the archives (nothing there); "googled" for "tech
note", "tech notes", and "technical note"; and navigated the web sites of
several design-conscious (Adobe, Apple, etc.) companies to reach their
well-hidden tech note sections. In all, I've retrieved only eight or so
good examples.
Anyone know where I might find more? Any format is OK--I'll redo in
FrameMaker anyway. Our immediate goal is hardcopy/pdf, but good HTML
examples are welcome too.
About the template I'm trying to create:
- Will hold detailed technical information (including diagrams) that is not
covered in the User's Guide or Install Guide.
- Less front and back matter is better (get to the content quickly)
- NOT a product data sheet.
- Audience is both customer support and end user (network security
administrators).
Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Tips on tech note format and
content would also be great. Thanks!
