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.
Imagine trying to take meetings minutes remotely. It's a very hard thing to do.

Just as bad, and possibly more infuriating, is the "chairperson"
(sometimes self appointed) who upon hearing a question--one the remote people didn't catch at all--says, "I think we've been over all that before. Moving on..."
I gave up long ago trying to attend meetings via a remote connection. Dev folks sometimes know all the terminology, but the TW can easily mis-hear a key phrase.
