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.

tech doc personnel/budgets. We work with one group that has been
trying to hire another tech writer for two months -- while a manager
several levels up keeps the hire on hold...
[NOTE - same manager is also pushing them for more updates, much
faster, to the point the group now works 7 days 12 hours REGULARLY].
