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.

I think cultural, social, ethical issues are very much within the purview of the
technical communicator. They shape us and we should discuss them as they
pertain to the work we do. But I don't want to read polemics that are divorced
from the reason I'm participating in this particular forum.
