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.
Just out of curiosity, what's the origin of the term "white paper", and how
did they come to be used by tech companies as thinly-veiled sales tools?
(The earliest use of the term "white paper" that I found on Google is The
Churchill White Paper of 1922.)
