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.
Wouldn't that normally be the complete documentation? Like a user
manual? Unless they subscribe to the theory that the software is so
simple and well laid out "they don' need no steenkin documentation."
As a side note, Intuit's latest release of Quicken, Quicken Essentials,
has only a 14 page Quick Start Guide, and then throws you upon the
tender mercies of their FAQs, which are not in depth, and their user
community forums.
Totally inadequate.
