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.

7) We need 5 to 10 speakers who will talk about cool, techie stuff. My
thoughts: I would love somebody to talk about XML. I'd also be interested
in hearing about Linux and some general "ideas in documenting complex web
applications" or something like that. I would also like see a
semi-humorous attempt to battle out the Word vs. Frame debate. I think
that could be fun, if it was done with the right attitude.

Should this conference happen, I would be interested in seeing something for
those of us who don't actually spend our days documenting complex
programming languages and such. I am an instructional designer/project
manager who, sure enough, writes about software for e-learning. I wonder
how many of us find ourselves in the less traditional tech writing fields
(though I did see that the author of Tech Writing for Dummies did address
CBT, WBT, and online help -- in fact, this is how I realized that I was,
really, a tech writer). Could we put a seminar together that would address
the non-traditional tech writers among us and how these jobs relate and
transfer over (or don't) to traditional documentation work?
Those of you in e-learning can feel free to backchannel me as well. I'd
love to see how many of us there are in this sub-group of tech writers.
Thanks!
