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.
You are on the right list. I, for one, apologize for not responding to your
request. To be honest, all of us here at my workplace can barely concentrate
on our tasks. Normally, this list is a great place to get answers or
referrals. Normally, this list warmly welcomes newcomers. This week, the
world is hurting, and I'm sure you are as well. However, we do need to get
back to work someday. Hopefully, someone will respond to your questions.
During calmer days, we generally first ask if you have searched our Archives
at: http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/ )At the top of the site you'll see
"Features." "Archive" is to the right of it.)
The reason we ask that question is because, since 1993, the Techwhirlers
have discussed thousands of issues, sometimes over and over again, since
inception. Deb Ray has done an awesome job with the Web site (Deb's
"baby"!), and that is another reason why we first recommend the Archives.
Your question about sites where you can find examples and definitions of
each type of guide has been answered numerous times in the past. I'm almost
99.9% positive you'll find answers in the Archives to question #2.
Your questions are wholly appropriate. We, the listserv members, are just
having a sad week. Thanks for your patience with us. Again, I hope a member
responds to your questions.
Warmly,

Subject: Wrong List
I guess I must have the wrong list? I thought this was a list about
technical writing issues? I asked a question; 1 person responded. Perhaps my
question was
inappropriate?
