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.
Has anyone used the ideas in Peter Schorer's "How to Create Zero-Search-Time
Computer Documentation" (Peer-To-Peer, 1995, ISBN 1-57398-011-0)?
I just finished reading the book. While Schorer is opinionated and
deliberately insulting to a number of groups -- especially technical writers
-- he seems to have developed a useful framework for creating task-based
documentation.
I'm sure he'd be the first to agree that actual results are what his method
should be judged by. ...RM
