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'm quite interested in the possibilities of wikis, blogs, etc., (commonly
called Web 2.0) for technical communication, and some web-surfing turned up
a UK company called Cherryleaf. They've published a report called "Tech
Writing 2.0 - Special report on new trends in user documentation." It's a
bit pricey for my budget ($93.00) and it promises "6,500 words of advice,"
which by my estimate is somewhat less than 30 pages.
It may be terrific; it may be no more than what I can find through STC
publications. Has anyone read it? Did it contain info and ideas you hadn't
found elsewhere?
