Project idea (was: RE: Myths and Facts From SSI)

[Mike Collier - SSG <MikeCol -at- SBSERVICES -dot- COM>]

I'm full of ideas for things other people can do...

Students enrolled in technical writing programs (and their professors)
>take note: Take a look at the assertions made over at
http://www.radiotower.com/ssi-can/facts.html  Interview technical
writers, consultants, documentation managers, etc. for their comments on
the worthiness and veracity of the statements made there. Find out if,
or how many, professionals share those beliefs.

The work you do may help shape the future of technical communication for
you and the rest of us young folk...don't forget to summarize for the
list.
