This statement makes the most sense when considered in the light of how the technology industry has expanded. We now have many small roles contributing to a project or part of one, but what's missing is people who can glue it all together according to some consistent idea. Making the product work for the user is one such idea, and TWs are the best suited toward that role.
Coincidentally, manuals are decreasing in importance as users know more about the technology. WTFM (write the fine manual) isn't going to cut it any more, and there's new ground to conquer. It'll be fun, honest. --- Rene Stephenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Creating user assistance is indeed a necessary task, but it is only > one of many that TWs perform.
