I keep hearing this phrase "best practise". Was wondering if any of you have worked with this term. What does it entail, encompass and engender? It would be different for each field. How does it affect technical writing? Any books, references?

It's really just a catch-phrase, so you shouldn't look for exact meanings. You might as well ask for an exact meaning for "paradigm," or "pushing the envelope," or any of the other buzzwords that you've heard in the office.

However, were I to apply it to tech-writing, I suppose I would mean such things as using styles consistently, designing for ease of revision, and similar practices.

And give to me my sword,
And there's not a man in all Scotland,
But I'll brave him at a word."'
