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.
Author-it is listed under DBMS because O*NET lists four items in each
category, and "desktop publishing" already had four items.
Talisma is listed under DBMS because it's more common than such no-names
as Amdocs, SAP, SQL Server, etc.
HATs are omitted altogether because... Anyone? Buehler?
BTW, I missed another DOL classic when I first reviewed the page. One of
our apparent tasks is "arrange for typing."
