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.
Appropos of recent discussions, I recommend perusal of "The Lessons of
ValuJet 592" in the March, 1998, issue of The Atlantic
Monthly....touches upon technical writing and documentation as among the
many vital elements of complex systems where failure, or a multiplicity
of unpredictably interrelated failures, can kill.
