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.
I agree with a lot that's been said already and have something to add. Here
is a quick and easy 'line' to use when your worth is misunderstood in your
company:
"I am here to reveal your work to the user. It doesn't matter how wonderful
your code is if the user does not realize the feature exists or cannot
figure out how to use it."
Followed up with clean, clear prose, solid product knowledge and timely
user interface/functional specification reviews and you've got the basis
for a good relationship.
