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.

Suzanne and Chris,
Oxygen has a lot of information (including their user manuals in PDF form) on their web site (http://oxygenxml.com).
I have a conflict of interest (we publish the print version of their manuals), so take this with a grain of salt, but I like the product and use it for DITA (I'm still an antediluvian who uses emacs for everything else:).
