radical revamping of techpubs

[Gordon McLean]

So, is there a "Tech Writers in Agile Dev" mailing list? I'm a member of the
Agile Usability one but haven't, yet, stumbled across a scrum of writers
(sorry!).

I've followed this thread with interest, even though it has precious little
to do with FrameMaker. 

My perspective differs somewhat from what I've seen so far in the
discussion. I've been working in and with agile development groups as a
writer or doc manager since late in the last century. When I first heard
about agile, I thought it was the devil's spawn, but it hasn't turned out
that way at all. In my experience, a writer in a well-run agile environment
can be involved from day one of the first iteration all the way through to
delivery of a final product -- and not just writing and rewriting the same
stuff over and over again. In fact, I find that I don't spend as much time
writing as I once did. However, as an integral part of the development
organization, I have no shortage of interesting and impactful (terrible
word) tasks on my plate. 

As a side note, I'm a certified (and very interested) scrum master.
