Marcus, Thanks for letting me know.
I would point out, however, that something can be "improved" or it can be "new," but marketing gurus not withstanding, it cannot be "new" AND "improved." "New "(not previously existing) documentation is the communication of something not previously explained. "Improved" documentation more clearly communicates something that has all ready been explained, but does not communicate information about a new topic. (It is the idea being qualified and thus using different or "new" words doesn't constitute something, "new.") I would also suggest that if one improves existing documentation, the act of writing it is sufficiently implied to forego having to use the word "write." And finally, "also with technical topics" is a sentence fragment (think of it as an incomplete thought). One possible correction: "Interpret technical topics to write new, and improve existing, documentation." (That's assuming both are being done; if not, drop whichever clause is unnecessary.) But anyway, your attention to detail and promptness is a surprising change to what one usually encounters.
