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.
Right, unless you provide flat HTML, in which case
they can pick it up with any tool they choose for
editing. Not the most impressive system, but it works
and allows for easy mods on their part.
On a side note, you could generate some profit on the
docs end by offering customization services to
clients, where you update the help based on their UI
changes. Dunno what the demand in your case might be,
though.
But, if you keep it plain HTML, they can edit it
themselves. I used to work for a dot-bomb and I
allowed this kind of user access when they were
allowed UI access. They seemed to like it, and leaving
it in plain HTML with well-commented markup made them
very happy.
