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.

So now's the time for me to establish the ASTW, the TWO, the OTW, the
TWCS, and three or four dozen other membership and certification bodies.
At least two or three of them will catch hold and stick, and get in with
Obama's yet-to-be-created National Technical Writer's Authority*, and I
(rather than or in addition to the STC) can be in charge of my
certification.
(* Yes, National Technical Writer's Authority. Because Writer's is the
plural of Writer, see? That's how plural's work.)
