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.
Recently surfing the web for information on technical writing, I
discovered an interesting article called "The Future of Technical
Publications" at http://www.jarthurgroup.com.
A panel was convened to discuss the future of technical publications.
One panelest (Director level) made the following comment.
"The ideal technical writer realizes that tech pubs will always be a
service organization with relatively low status in the corporation."
