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 believe this info was documented in the conference proceedings for the STC
annual conference that was held in Washinton DC the year before last. At
least the names of the presenters will be in the proceddings, and most
likely and abstract. (since I went to the session, I haven't read that part
of the proceeding---is that the correct noun for the compilation of all that
is presented at a conference? It's 6AM, and my brain's fuzzy) I have a copy
of the proceedings at my cube at Jacobus. Since I am telecommuting today, I
can't retrieve this until tomorrow. There were also handouts; those will
take me a bit longer to find.

Joanne
