RE: Follow-up: Acceptance of Mediocre Documentation

["Jones, Donna" <DJones -at- zebra -dot- com>]

I was thinking along the same lines as what David Neeley wrote. 

When I started here, the documentation for each printer line was different, even though there was what should have been identical content between them. I slowly but surely made improvements to the documentation with each release without begging for permission. The process would probably have been a lot more painful had I tried to explain in great detail why I reorganized everything I did, made all the edits I did, and such. I just did everything, summarized the major changes, and submitted the final product for approval. No one has complained yet because they could see the improvements.
