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.
We all know that we couldn't be replaced with a $100
program called TECHWRITER, but I could see some
companies looking into this type of thing.
** Already several years ago, I happened upon a company that claimed it
was doing large quantities of technical writing automatically. They
were hush-hush about the actual process, but it seemed to resemble
what you'd expect from the sportswriter program: assuming that the
structure is standard, you plug in the data. If you've never been
involved in a project so boringly uniform that this approach could
be used on much of it, you're lucky.
