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.
What open source tools are you using right now? Be interesting to look
into them.
Thanks,
Steve

And some of us, like me, were thinking how nice it is to be working in
XML with open source tools and not needing to contemplate more than a
grand for a software upgrade:-).
Yes, I know there's no replacement for the tools required to get your
job done, I'm just happy that at this moment, I don't need that
particular tool:).
