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 still interested in an online workshop, send
a "Sign me up!" message to me directly, rather than to
the entire list. Include a brief description of what kind
of writing you do (or want to do).
For those of you who have already signed up:
I received over 80 responses so far. Obviously we
can't have a workshop with 80 participants, so I created
a small database of names and email addresses,
then divided everyone up into workshop groups of no
more than 7 participants.
Currently, myself and two other people are working on
some very basic rules for getting started and for main-
taining a workshop. We expect that the workshops,
once established, will work relatively independently of
each other.
There may be some room for expanding the workshop
idea into a more sophisticated online forum in the future.
For now, however, our goal is to just get something
started.
I am taking a couple of days off this week to attend my
sister's wedding, so expect more information from me
later in the month (July 24th, or soon thereafter).
