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 possible, could any of you kind and knowledgeable souls recommend decent
project tracking software/shareware/vaporware? The manager of my doc group
is looking for an application that's networkable and relatively easy to use
and maintain. Our group is small at this point (only two full-time writers),
but will probably grow as the company does.
I apologize if this topic has been covered before. Please feel free to email
me directly with responses.
TIA,
Atticus
PS--As I am a Lurker, I will also take this opportunity to post my thoughts
on various, recent threads, and then go back to Lurking:
1) me too
2) I would be happy to pay
3) I am a member of Two-Spaces Anonymous (on road to recovery) and the
Glorified Typists Guild of America
3) A. Plato for President
4) What's a portfolio?
5) I put the punctuation inside the quotes. Am I a naughty boy?
6) As a "young" whipper-snapper and newbie tech-writer, I just wanted to say
that I really admire you guys who have written manuals for old school IBM
mainframes and also User Guides (User's? Users' ?) for the entire Boeing 747
electrical system and clandestine Cold War-era top-secret military
procedures. Neat stuff. I'd be curious to hear about some of the more
ridiculously huge and historically relevant projects some of you have worked
on (of course, only if there is no possiblity that Men in Dark Suits would
appear in your cubicle).
