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.
We use a homemade system, using ASP against a SQL Server database. I'm sure you
could do something in whatever flavor of site you have, so long as you have a
database behind it. It's a fairly straightforward thing to do on your own
without spending thousands of dollars on enterprise-scale tools.
