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.
A few years ago I came across a printout of Jean Weber's book on planning
and creating Help. I think it was titles Creating Online Help or Editing
Online Help or something like that. I browsed through the contents and found
it informative and very well organised. Since then, I've recommended that
book to anyone who is new to creating Help. This is probably the best book
around on the subject.
