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.
There seem to be a lot of materials describing how to write or which describe
individual editors. I'm looking for materials which explain how technical
writing departments are set up, how they work, case studies of collaborative
tools, etc.
Any pointers wouild be greatly appreciated!
There was one book in our library that was very well written, and, I think, was
ahead of its time -- but it is ten years old now. I wonder if it has been
updated?
