Subject:Google Wave--will it be a game changer? From:David Neeley <dbneeley -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 1 Jun 2009 12:02:36 +0300
Greetings!
I have been fascinated this week to see the video of the Google Wave
developer's presentation. From what I can tell, it appears it may
become something of a game changer in tech writing--especially if
someone creates hooks in a tool that will allow complex formatting,
using the Wave service as a collaboration medium.
For example, tech writers could be working on a file collaboratively,
then add product engineers to the conversation for verification as it
progresses or after a draft is done.
I for one will be very interested in seeing it as it is released
"later this year" according to Google.
