Authoring helptext
Writing helptext is one of those "humble" tasks that is worth some love and
care, for it helps keep the world's wheels greased and can make someone's day. I would
like to think i was the world's best. Of course the excellence of the result is to some
extent dependent on budget. I used to avoid technical authoring because the fee rates were
low compared with other work in IT. Nowadays, in semi-retirement, that's not a
consideration!
Editing of academic papers
The following are extracts from a paper submitted to a symposium on "Consuming
Crafts", edited in Microsoft Word and by hand to improve the flow and clarity of an
author whose native language was not English. I was fascinated by this paper describing
rural crafts in Indonesia, and these moths, and the special kinds of silk produced from them.
