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.
I think this is a reasonable definition of *minimum* levels of quality
(just think of all the things you've bought over the years that didn't
even do that well). If someone tells you they think that's all that is
needed, ask them when was the last time they saw any product
advertised as "just good enough."
