Hot new things:
* DITA
* API documentation (not new, but much in demand)
* impact of web-based collaboration and do-it-yourself (DIY) writing:
blogs, videoblogs, wikis, podcasts
* impact (still to be determined) of Vista

Subject: Hot new trends in tech writing?
It seems like this past year or so has been curiously devoid of chatter
about technology and tactics that will soon Change Tech Writing As We

your tech writing world today? Vista? XML (again, or still)? Flare?
