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've found the MS Manual of Style extremely helpful. They've dealt
with a lot of the issues concerning the continuely evolving terminology...
things like when do you click and when do you select.... I don't
always agree with their decisions but what they decide does tend
to set the standard. If you're writing users guides or online help for
Windows products, its indispensable. I am curious about what
opinions others on the List have, so I'm glad you asked the question.
Dont know anything about Bugs..., but it sounds good.
