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.
One of the realities of contemporary document methodology is that in
environments where products are small variations on themes, documents are
rigidly structured and content is heavily leveraged, style sheets are often
carved in stone and management just wants the doc team to dig out the
differences in the new products, plug them into the right places and then hit
the "publish" button.
