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.
Actually, Steve, my original proposal was that we take the discussion off techwr-l not to exclude anyone but just to cut down on the noise level. The idea was always to develop a draft proposal and circulate it back on techwr-l for further comment and refinement. It's just a discussion; we do not claim to be any kind of authority, nor are we all enamored of the idea that STC would take over at some point.
