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 don't see tech writers with gainful employment falling all over themselves
to contribute to a fund to help feed, house, clothe and pay doctor bills for
tech writers and their families if they altruistically choose to turn down
underemployment in hard times to serve the interests of "the entire
industry." In the absence of some equivalent of a union strike fund, people
need to make sure their own oxygen masks are in place before attempting to
assist others.
