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.
With regards to the Intercom article, what about the
reasons for "rolling your own" from an employer's
perspective?
I mean, as an author, I like to add such skills and
the experience and project is cool, and quite a resume
padder.
But--here I go, am about to tag myself as a faithful
WWP-addict <lol!>--is the reason for rolling your own
in this case appropriate and, moreover, is the result
single sourcing?
Cheers,
Sean
P.S. Am not asking if you think single sourcing is
real, myth, a waste of time, or the coolest thing
since the pan galactic gargleblaster--am wondering
about the Intercom article. I wonder if this article
accurately represents the scope of the single sourcing
discussion at the last STC annual shindig?
