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.
The approach I took at WEITEK was, "Look, someone has to be in charge.
I'm the only one with the time to be in charge of my documents, so
I'm in charge. You'll all get to review the document. I will take
your comments, the schedule, the budget, and our customers' needs
into account, and release a document that, in my opinion, does
the best job possible at the time. If you don't like the results,
fire me."
(That's manager talk.)
