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.
Much as I (a paper aficianado) hate to admit it, I think where possible, the
main documentation should be a part of the product. That is, either 1 or 3.
It's the trend of the future because that's the way most users prefer it.
(You can't lose the on-line dox, nor do you have to find space for them on
your (all too cluttered) desk and fret that they'll wander off and lose
their way home.) It's a shame. I prefer writing paper dox.
