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.
Proper data storage and file management are essential components to my
job as a technical writer. Seemingly trivial issues, such as what to
name a file, are actually very important. The use of metadata is also a
growing concern.
Anyone who has ever taken over a large or complex project from another
person, or anyone who works in a team, appreciates the importance of
good file management.
BTW, file naming and setting up logical directory structures contains
even more subtleties in a UNIX environment.
Cheers.
