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.
Rule of thumb re relative staffing levels (coders vs. writers)
comes from 7 years employee experience at 2 different companies
(3 sites) and 5 years contracting at about 10 different co's, all
server-related software gigs except one firmware place (dvd/web
authoring in a fixed appliance). I didn't include the hardware or
dvd authors in my count of that place....
More like thick fog than thin air :)
The books I've read tend to base estimates on paper page counts. But I
haven't done much online help reading, sorry I can't help there!
