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.
Because this list isn't meant to post ads, I'll make
this short and sweet. The topic of indexing has just
come up so much that I thought others may be interested.
If you think this is inappropriate, please tell me (kindly,
no flames necessary :-) ).

If you are interested in a software that can automatically create
an index for you, that is, it can decide for itself (and for you)
what words are important based on their context, check out
Iconovex's home page at http://www.iconovex.com and look for
'Indexicon.' That's it. That's all. I won't say any more.
Contact me personally at the address below if you have more
questions.
