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.
REF: Period following a user name. I had not thought of that. It seems
that it might have implications in areas other than documentation. Will
watch this space for more ideas. WIT-4 is in production, buit I have
yet to see even preliminary galleys. so I have no idea where it is in
the production schedule. P-H is remarkably silent about what it's
doing--even with questions.
While I'm at it, anything else? I've noted the trademark discussion and
that really IS a rat hole. P-H legal has gone through that section and
the coprright sections carefully and we think it's usable (maybe not
right in some leagalistic sense. Will need to add a disclaimer about
state regulations).
REF: What to put in text for readers/users to type. No. Not covered.
There are many published works on that topic (BRockmann, Horton, etc.),
so a lot of discussion is already out there. Besides, the book tends to
not specialize that way.
FINALLY: Any other WIT-4 requests?
