RE: What do you do when you don't have anyone with the time to reviewand edit your docs

Wade,

Do your reviewers have meetings? Can you stick your head in and say
"Listen folks, I think the doc(s) look good, but I really need at least
one more pair of eyes to look at it before it escapes the asylum ... Er
... Goes out the door." Set a deadline and see if you get any raised
hands. 

If they don't meet, send out an email or buttonhole the most likely
suspects.

I did send it out a couple of times and my boss brought up in his
management review meetings that people aren't giving me feedback (he is
very supportive). And I really haven't gotten beat up yet. I think I'm
coming from a "this is what has happened to me in the past" kind of
viewpoint.

I guess I'll just wait and see. My boss knows it's an issue. I'm not
worried about him as much as I am worried about my image in the company,
which at the moment is pretty good from what I can tell. :)
