<div>Following up on being able to leverage some of Uber's
template / best practices resources for this effort, my
manager thinks it's a good idea! I need to do some more follow
up with our open source/legal folks, but consider this a
tentative yes to sharing:</div>

<div>Thanks for following up, I've been slowly
working my way through the existing resources and
blogs (I have a new July 8 deadline for a work
project, so I have been multitasking :) ). </div>

<div>I don't have bandwidth in this next month to
contribute to the execution part of this effort,
but am happy to share feedback and ideas. </div>

<div>I do think it's good to consider joining
existing projects to avoid reinventing the wheel,
if possible. The <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Write the
Docs guide</a> seems like a great candidate for
this, with good name recognition in the TW
community. </div>

<p>Stephanie Blotner is a tech writer at Uber
and did a great podcast <a
class="gmail-m_-7306485746914052931gmail-m_3173325732743920121gmail-m_2256760125540908556moz-txt-link-freetext"

moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZmAEuC2zuA</a>
about empowering developers to become better
writers .. and quite a bit more. She covers
some of this in this blog post: <a
class="gmail-m_-7306485746914052931gmail-m_3173325732743920121gmail-m_2256760125540908556moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://increment.com/documentation/primer-on-documentation-content-strategy/"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://increment.com/documentation/primer-on-documentation-content-strategy/</a>
. She has also suggested <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/San-Francisco-Write-The-Docs/lone-writers-guide</a>
as a group who have started collating tech
writer know-how.<br>
</p>
<p>Stephanie, you were wondering about IP and
getting permission to share company writing
guides. The bottom line is that in the
digital economy, <b>collaboration out
competes competition</b>. Longer version
