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.

EVERYTHING I write is released when it is good enough. Anyone who is
working on 600 help topics and 1,000 pages of printed documentation (I
assume this to be a standard workload) will never get anything
released if they insist that everything is perfect.
