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.

So what we need for *any* documented system is an incentive program for users who send their comments, amendments, and unofficial trouble-shooting guides back to Document Control. The incentive would be doubled for any user whose contributions are incorporated in the next documentation release. This *might* improve the documentation, and it would also warn Document Control as to the location of unofficial, soon-to-be-obsolete guides.
