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.
With respect to work/play boundaries. Going golfing with the SME's,
partying with them at the local watering hole affords countless
opportunities to establish good relations, trust and lots of inside
information that could be useful in the documentation process. In
fact, there are women who take up golf for the express purpose of
establishing the same types of client bonding that have traditionally
been reserved for males. This is obviously more common in sales
than documentation, but the same principle applies. If you know
people intimately, both during work hours and afterwards, you can
definitely get more information, and information is the name of the game.
