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.
Bad documentation of documentation tools has been,
at least for me, a longtime "cobbler's children have
holes in their shoes" bit or irony. I've never found
FrameMaker printed docs to be of much use, though
I can generally figure out what I need to know from
the help. RH has had really awful online help ever
since the BlueSky days. And don't even get me
started on what happens when you hit "Help" in
Adobe Acrobat...
