I'm a technical writer who is primarily concerned
with writing hardware and software installation
manuals.  I have been involved, pretty much on a
freelance basis, with doing usability testing on
the user documentation for our group.  I've attended
a usability testing workshop conducted by  Doctor
Judy Ramey at the University of Washington.  I was
wondering if anyone in this news group might have
suggestions about where to get further training in 
this area.  I'm also interested in training that 
focuses on the uses of hypertext and online documentation.
I do have some bibliographic references, journal articles
and the like.  What I'm looking for here are classes, 
symposia, workshops, etc.  I have checked locally (Portland
Oregon area) and haven't turned up much. 

Any leads or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,  

Jim Travers
