My apologies for not being clearer. I was thinking of something along the
lines of a mailer on the net or a USENET group (comp.tech.writing).

Actually, how about a show of hands: how many people have USENET access?
We could start something ourselves irregardless of what the STC wants. Is
anyone interested in establishing a USENET group? We could probably
start by getting this one echoed as a bit.listserv group, and then
try for a hierarchy if there were enough interest (comp.tech.writing.sw,
comp.tech.writing.hw, comp.tech.writing.issues).

Moreover, this would make technical writers more accessable to the
rest of industry. If someone had a question they could pose it to
the usenet group. People interested in joining STC could find out how
from a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) posted regularly. Listserv
is a little more insular since only the people on the list really
keep it in mind. Someone reading news has a better chance of seeing
the site and keeping it in mind.

Cheers,
