In the belief that tech writers are sorely underutilized, as well as unappreciated, misunderstood and wrongly blamed, UnTechnical Press is sponsoring the creation of a Tech Writer's Manifesto. We don't expect it to be adopted by any organizations, but we want it to apply to as many individual tech writers as possible. This is what we want it to accomplish: * Let employers and those who contract with us know what our capabilities are and how we may be of value to them in ways they never knew. * Let development teams know how we can contribute to team dynamics and product development. * Let consumers know that we, as technical writers and other technical communicators, really want to provide them with excellent, readable, understandable manuals and other documentation, and how they can help us help them.

What's in a Name? Guidelines for Naming Files 
While file naming may seem like an insignificant detail, developing an intuitive, descriptive file naming system can help minimize file access and management challenges. What's more, developing such a file naming system--especially when a consistent system is not in place--can have added benefits, such as improving access through better searchability and browseability, and improving access for everyone who may, now or later, need to access project files. In this article, you'll find several tips and examples for naming files, which used individually or in combination, can help ease file access and management.
