I recently joined the IEEE, which is the professional society for electrical engineers, and I've already been roped into doing a presentation sometime this Fall.

My tentative topic is something like, Top Ten Things That Tech Writers Would Like To Tell Engineers, So We Can All Work Together Better. Now, not to take the lazy way out -- I have plenty of ideas of my own for this -- but surely I'm not the only writer who has a few things I'd like to tell engineers about how they
can help us to help them create better documentation. So, if you have any ideas (it doesn't have to be ten), please send me an e-mail to Steven -at- OpComm -dot- com -dot- Simple, one-sentence ideas are fine, but on the other hand also feel free to elaborate in a few paragraphs.

After the presentation, I will post a consolidated summary here on Techwr-L, and hopefully IEEE will post a summary as well. Thanks in advance for your help!
