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.
Newton's Telecom Dictionary is a useful reference, but beware that it is
not without its flaws. Some of Harry's explanations are less than
precise, which I attribute more to careless and rapid writing than to
incorrect information. For example, he implies that ARU and IVR are
synonymous, which they are not--ARU refers to a device and IVR to an
application or technology (ARU is synonymous with VRU).
Despite these little bugs, however, it's well worth the thirty bucks.
