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.
UPS management must be fairly lenient with contract
assignments, as I've never consulted or worked for a
company who would take a hyperlinked document as a
prototype or proof of concept for a system like the
one you're investigating. Especially if the contract
is a quick 6-month one at that. This seriously reminds
me of a Dilbert where they contract some work out to
Elbonia and two Elbonians take turns between being the
developer and the computer (IOW wear a box on his
head).
But, it does sound like a spiffy project you got going
on there. It'll certainly look good on the resume. I'm
just not sold on the idea that this will be complete
or in any workable form within 6 months time. Then
again, I don't have to be sold on it, do I?
