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.

Here's a study request for the female members of the list, if you're
interested... (posted with Eric Ray's permission.)
> Invitation to participate in a
> Study on the use of the Web by Women in IT professions
>
> Women of all ages and backgrounds working in Information
> Technology professions (i.e. website designer, programmer or
> administrator/manager) are invited to participate in a 2-week long
> study on work-related use of the Web.
> Experience using the Internet and World Wide Web is required.
>
> This study is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities
> Research Council of Canada. It represents a continuation of a
> previous study on how knowledge workers use the Web to seek
> external information (i.e. information about developments in the IT
> field and information about competitors) as part of their daily work
> (Choo, Detlor and Turnbull, 1998, 1999).
> Because the study population was primarily male, it is of interest
> to investigate whether women in the IT sector have similar or
> dissimilar patterns of Web use, particularly as the number of
> women in the IT sector grows rapidly.
> Those who complete ALL parts of the study are eligible for a draw
> of $100 USD, which will be held in January 2001.
