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.
A friend told me a real horror story. She sent out the first draft for
review/revision. It had HUGE gaping gaps in it, with notations she needed the
information here, she had a DRAFT watermark on the printout. Something like a
month passed, she had heard nothing, so she asked about it. They had copied the
thing and were using it for training! It totally boggled her mind.
