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.

Responding to the call for most-used reference books:
When I completed a graduate certificate in Int'l Tech. Comm, my supervising
professor at the Univ. of WI at Milwaukee was Gerald Alred, author of the
googled title:
Handbook of Technical Writing, 7th edition
by Gerald J. Alred, Charles T. Brusaw, Walter E. Oliu
St. Martin's Press, (January, 2003)
Great info can be found at his Web site http://www.uwm.edu/~alred/profile.html and at the site of his German
colleague Andreas Baumert (though it's in German) http://www.recherche-und-text.de/. Both are interested in creating an
annotated bibliography of useful references for tech writers in the field.
I'm sure they'd be happy to add to this list.
