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.

My favorite line from the document "WRITING USER-FRIENDLY DOCUMENTS" (their
capitals, not mine) on http://www.plainlanguage.gov/:
"There's also a long list of simple words you can substitute for jargon on
our web site,
plainlanguage.gov, in the reference library."
Perhaps a rewording would be useful: "Our web site--plainlanguage.gov--has
in its reference library a long list of simple words you can substitute for
jargon."
