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.
Talk about perfect timing! My company decided to start a wiki using Confluence. I have looked at it a little bit, I will be contributing FAQs to the Wiki and I had been wanting to do them in either Flare or RoboHelp, but I am not sure if either of those would work with a Wiki and I am hoping for suggestions on the best way to add FAQs to a Wiki. I would like the question to link to the answer.
Thanks!
