Hi, all.
I'm trying to free myself of old assumptions about user documentation, so I'd like to canvass the group to find out what user doc you've seen recently that struck you as (1) useful and well done and (2) innovative in some way. Something beyond the usual PDF/online help combo, in other words.
Have you seen user info provided in i-Phone apps, Twitter, e-book format, wikis?
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
