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.
Another consideration on disablities is the completeness of online
documentation. I have a friend who is totally blind and has trouble with
many software packages because the online documentation isn't complete
or because of the growing trend towards GUIs (even in DOS-based applications)
and mouse-driven applications.
A few weeks ago, there was a discussions on the validity on online docs and
also on our responsibilities as tech writers to the disabled. Creating
comprehensive online docs is a start.
