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.
if you are involved in some German at work, help is not far away. Techwr-l is
available at my BBS, that is supported by both tekom, the German society for
technical communicators, and BDUe, the German society for translators and
interpreters. If I find a specific message here, I will even copy it to one of
the internal newsgroups, which are much smaller than Techwr-l. There are some
400 people from all over Germany, who can read Techwr-l here without Internet
access.
If you wish to access the headquaters of tekom, send mail to
tek-b -dot- beutte -at- geod -dot- geonet -dot- de -dot- There is no e-mail access for the BDUe
headquarters that I am aware of. But you will find a competent partner if you
send mail to Richard -dot- Schneider -at- twh -dot- msn -dot- sub -dot- org -dot-
tekom and BDUe have regional chapters. If you come to Germany, I might be able
to connect you to German collegues. BDUe even has public member lists, if you
need a German translator or interpreter.
I am a graduated electronics/software engineer. I work as a free-lance
technical writer in areas that range from service manuals to context-sensitive
online-documentation. I might translate to German. But I will not translate
to English professionally - you native speakers will understand why :-)
Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
