RE: Tech documentation info to developers and QA? - Thanks all

["Pooja Malhotra" <pooja -dot- malhotra -at- induslogic -dot- com>]

I want to thank everyone on this list for their valuable suggestions.
Conclusion I could draw from all the mails was to earn respect from the
developers first and if it comes to pointing out changes in their GUI,
it must be very subtle. Though, I had taken the same approach but I
guess, I have been wrong somewhere. 

Probably, with time, I shall gain the respect and make a place for
myself in the organization.

Thanks once again,

Pooja

P.S. BTW, my presentation, following Brijesh's concept of taking the
negative approach first and then leading to positive was a success.

<<why dont u start by giving examples of what bad documentation can do ?
what is bad UI ? 
  how a good UI can make big difference to the users... 
  i guess examples is where you shud start your presentation. they will
understand it better. 

- if you have time, just take one bad screen, change it ( image only)
and show them, the diff. 

- documentation process is an important thing, but I guess u should
reserve that to a later stage, when your audience start understanding
the importance of good documentation. 

- pick bad emails that were written, tell them the mistakes.... 

remember do no point fingers!...>>
