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.
Dan wondered: <<Is there any kind of free doc management software,
like sharepoint or documentum?>>
Try Subversion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software).
There's also a free book available called Version Control with
Subversion (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/). Haven't used this myself,
but my wife is involved in a large volunteer project that is using
the software successfully.
A variety of other useful online tools, all with powerful free
versions, can be found at <www.37signals.com> and
<www.rememberthemilk.com>.
