TechWhirl: Technical Communications Recap for May 25, 2012

By now most STC Summit attendees are back at their desks ready to do battle
with recalcitrant SMEs and unfocused management.  TechWhirl returns to the
homesteads today, with a new sense energy, lots of ideas, and a greatly
enhanced network of colleagues, peers and friends who make up a large part
of the technical communications community.



We recognize that most TechWhirlers did not head to Chicagoland either by
choice or necessity of budget limitations.  So we’ve collected posts and
pictures of the three-day extravaganza as part of the Tech Writer This Week
post.  At the same time, we continued with our regularly scheduled content
including a great new article from Geoff Hart on Peer Review Strategies for
Technical Writers<http://techwhirl.com/editing/peer-review-strategies-technical-writers-learning-colleagues/>,
and the second part of Tony Chung’s series on
Crowdsourcing<http://techwhirl.com/business/next/crowdsourcing-doubleedged-sword/>
.



Of course TechWhirlers started and continued plenty of threads on the email
discussion list<http://www.techwr-l.com/about-technical-writing-discussion-groups.html>,
so those that weren’t heads down in educational sessions at the STC didn’t
get too lonely… or bored.



If you’re a US technical communicator, Happy Memorial Day and enjoy the
long weekend. If you call somewhere else home, have a great weekend too!
