Subject:Philosophy: the Aim of Technical Comms? From:Stuart Burnfield <slb -at- FS -dot- COM -dot- AU> Date:Tue, 30 Apr 1996 12:00:11 +0800
Is this a fair summary of the best approach to technical communication,
including tech writing and user interface design:
"the greatest good of the greatest number"
How else do you decide what to put in and what to leave out?
