RE: Examples of Great Software/Web-based User Guides

Thanks, Mike! Of course, there are lots of great tech writers who don't
enter the competitions. Any other ideas?

The STC lists the winners of its international competitions here:

http://stc.org/comp/internationalCompetitions01_winners.asp

They don't link to examples, probably because trying to get permissions
from the various corporate entities would be an enormous task. But I'd
guess at least some of this stuff would be on the web.

I second that.  Where do we go to see examples of stellar, "best of"
technical writing?

Does the STC post publications that have won their awards?  (I know,
DAFS.  Just thought that could be one of several resources somebody
might list.)

Thanks,

Steve

PS - Thanks, Karen, for asking this one -- I've been wanting to know
this for a while.

Greetings,
Being a lone writer, I often wonder if my work is keeping up with the
latest and best trends in our industry. Would someone have examples of
really good software and/or Web-based user guides they'd like to share?
Feel free to share your own if you think it meets this standard. I just
want to see how I could be doing things better.
Thanks.
Karen
