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.

Note that there are already two related newsgroups on Usenet News:
misc.writing (probably the more relevant) and comp.edu.composition.
You might want to drop in on them sometime, though I've got to
admit that there's been more hardcore tech-writing discussion
here in the last couple of days than in any month of misc.writing.
Certainly it would be a good idea to send misc.writing a posting
every month or so to tell the newcomers that we're here.
I think I'd like TECHWR better as a gatewayed newsgroup than as a
mailing list, though I'd participate either way.
