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.
Unless you're talking about hundreds of users to start with, you need not
bother with WordPress MU; plain WP v2.9 will do fine. WPMU is the code
behind WordPress.com, handling thousands of unrelated sites. User setup is
pretty easy, and permissions are not as complicated as Drupal (though you
may want Drupal's granularity; I'll guess there's a WP plugin for that,
though).
