Hot new trends in tech writing?

[Joe Malin]

Hot new things:
* DITA
* API documentation (not new, but much in demand)
* impact of web-based collaboration and do-it-yourself (DIY) writing:
blogs, videoblogs, wikis, podcasts
* impact (still to be determined) of Vista

Subject: Hot new trends in tech writing?

It seems like this past year or so has been curiously devoid of chatter
about technology and tactics that will soon Change Tech Writing As We
Know It. Am I just not paying enough attention, or is the technological
marketplace undergoing a quiet spell? What's the most exciting thing in
your tech writing world today? Vista? XML (again, or still)? Flare? 

Curiously yours,
