Subject:Re: STC competition judges with a usability bent From:Brian Daley <briand -at- MEI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 1 Feb 1994 13:00:50 -0600
Are there any organizations that have usability competitions for manuals?
I've always thought it was funny that I could have an award-winning manual,
but the judge is judging the manual by itself, not with the product it's
supposed to document.
What if I forgot to warn the user about a life-threatening situation in my
award-winning manual?
