Excellent shout-out by @megansanicki to the importance of documentation and the value of technical writers in open source. Couldn't agree more. Google launching "Season of Docs" ... awesome. #OSCON
... three critical aspects of great software engineering that are of equal importance to the code but have often been treated as 2nd class citizens are testing, user experience and documentation.
One of the most amazing communities, one that just seems impossible - a mess of coding and standards, a clash of personalities and cultures, a mix of code to design to content - that somehow in all the chaos creates something truly amazing is the Skyrim modding community.
The glue that holds it together is a common purpose (to make the game better), a desire to belong, to contribute, to be recognised and this is not just confined to just coding but across content, story telling, artists and voice actors.
There are so many lessons for business to learn from the world of gaming ... from situational awareness, leadership and motivation in MMORPGs such as WoW or community & purpose in Skyrim.
