Re: Documentation Process

I agree with Andrew Plato on this. If you do not understand the products, and 
you're not actually writing the changes to the documentation, then you're in 
a bad spot: you're neither technical nor writers. You are certainly not 
adding any value.

You have got to learn the products, even if it means taking the manuals home 
at night and studying the products in the office on the weekends. You also 
need to wean the engineers out of the habit of making the changes for you, 
and start doing the job yourselves. Good luck!
