RE: Question about expanding the role of technical writers

[Mike Christie <mike-christie -at- outlook -dot- com>]

When I was employed as a technical writer testing the software under
development not only helped the development team (I found bugs and filed bug
reports), but it gave me a better understanding of the software and improved
my documentation.

When I worked for a very small company (< 10 people) I also did tech
support.

Good afternoon and Happy Friday, Whirlers!

For everyone on this list who works as a technical writer or communicator,
what else are you involved with other than documentation?

For instance, if you are do software testing, sing out. Or, if you are
involved with marketing writing, sing out. If you make how-to videos, don't
be shy.
