Double Blog Dare Ya
Due to the wiki, Tuesday night, midnight EST:
1. read/browse the poignantguide.net ruby web presence and the ruby guide at http://www.rubycentral.com/. Compare these resources, then describe and amplify the "technical writing" attributes of each, as you see it...250 words, make one external link to support your claim or provide an example, or to otherwise guide us through your blog.
2. talk about a circumstance conditioned by technical writing; perhaps "bad" technical writing created a problem for you or a particular community, or perhaps an effective document helped save the day. If possible cite from or link us to the text in question.
3. Select a creative commons license for your wiki space, and provide a rationale explaining your selection
4. Make links between 2 or more peer blogs. In your blog space, make a new page where you write about why you made this connection.
