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 thought it was an informative thread that is ON-TOPIC to my needs as
a consultant trying to drum up business after over 10 years out of the
consulting business. VOIP is something I'm keenly interested in due to
many of my client interactions taking place via contacts in varying
countries. Had this been posted on the off-topic list, I doubt I'd
ever have seen it.
Perhaps we should define the scope of technical writing for the sake
of the list? As Geoff mentioned, how is VOIP any different from DITA?
What if someone has an Excel question? And is marcomm out of the
question as well?
