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.
IN THE LAST EPISODE ...
A friend and I had a little wager as to what Audrey C. meant by "SME" in one
of her postings. Nothing to overwhelm the Bank of Mellon, mind; just a US$1
bet. Whereupon Subject Matter Experts fairly *swarmed* onto Techwr-L and
even into our own humble mailbox. (Who says tech writers don't know how to pa
rty?)
THE OUTCOME
We are SMEsmerized, of course, not only by the sheer volume of replies but by
the number of apparently destitute editorial brothers and sisters who want a
piece of the buck. Result:
Never in the course of human contact have so few
owed so much to so many.
-- Wolf Trix
We'll happily share the spoils once we divine a way to carve the buck into a
thousand bytes. Send your S.A.S.E.s early. ;-)
