The problem is that some central authority or voice
can really help organize a disparate profession. Some
see certification as the answer.
I would suggest that before we even worry about that
debate, we start praising the good tech writing out
there and making people aware of it. I don't know how
we can do it for proprietary stuff (samples?) but if
you encounter an excellent manual or guide or
description, maybe it's time to just make a links list
and praise the heck out of it.
