This is about domain knowledge.
1. How much domain knowledge should a user have while using a software? For example, if it is a banking application, will domain knowledge help the user in finishing tasks? 2. How much of these domain knowledge should go into a user manual? Will users benefit if the business context or logic is described in detail in a manual? Or will the user more interested in finishing a task, rather than reading the context and other things? 3. Do you think that the future is bright for "specialist" technical communicators, rather than "generalists"? ______________________________________________ ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2009 is your all-in-one authoring and publishing solution.
