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.
Thank you all very much. You've given me a huge amount of material to consider.
I will be figuring out how to present these considerations to my various (conflicting) stakeholders. They are gung-ho to eliminate huge swaths of material and are impatient with analysis needed figure out intelligently what to do. They prefer to make seat-of-the-pants decisions, toss the results out to their clients, and wait for the [screams of pain] hosannas.
Well. That's a bit exaggerrated, but not by much.
So, I am also facing the usual question tech writers face: how to educate your company about what you do and why it needs to be done . . .
Thanks again!
