WritersUA Skills & Technologies Survey

Unread post by Tim Green »

WritersUA/WinWriters, Inc. is conducting their annual survey of help authoring and technical writing skills and technologies. Participation is free and anonymous and "provides a snapshot of the skills and technologies we most value in our software development work". It's a one-page, radio-button survey that is easy to fill out and the results can provide an interesting overview of current trends in IT documentation.

Today (5 September) is the last day of the survey so if you want to participate you have to do it soon.

For those who have been asking about H&M's presence in the marketplace (or lack thereof) this is a good way to get the name out there. H&M is not in their long list of "Which Tools do you use," but the last question allows you to write in an authoring tool not listed above. Note that you are supposed to write in the name of the tool and click one of the radio buttons to rate it (I almost missed that part).

The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

Thanks,
Dean
