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.

> 1. Recruiting the right people
Determine first what skills you need in people, then
find them (advertise, use placement firms, etc.), and
then interview them. Follow the advice posted here
over the past 3 weeks to conduct a productive
interview.
> 2. Infrastructure setup
Determine what you need, and then buy it. I don't know
how to advise otherwise. I could suggest all this cool
stuff, but you may have no need for most of it.
> 3. Budget planning
Make sure you have enough (and then some) to cover all
the above (and then some).
