TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Funny, I've always thought that tech-writers were
anthropologists, interpreting geekdom to the world and learning
just enough to fit in and observe.
We even have the same status as anthropologists (which, at
potlatches in Bella Coola, an anthropologist friend told me, is
just above the mentally deficient and alongside children of
indeterminate ancestry).
