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.
Donna McManus admitted to being flummoxed trying to define these terms.
Let's look at the proper context...
> Minor : Wally continues drinking his coffee.
> Feature : Dilbert slaps his hand against his forehead.
> Trivial : Wally continues drinking his coffee.
> Text : Wally continues drinking his coffee.
> Tweak : Wally continues drinking his coffee.
> Major : Wally goes and gets another cup of coffee.
> Crash : Wally gets Dilbert a cup of coffee.
> Block : PHB says, "Mauve has more RAM."
Every problem in management can be reduced to comic strips. Superman and
Dilbert have been the strips of choice in technological companies, but
others (The Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, Popeye) can also be appropriate.
