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.
To those interested, I just got hold of a few WWW mailing list addresses, as
follows:
Send email to
listserv -at- info -dot- cern -dot- ch
In the body of the message, put
subscribe list-name your-name
For example:
sugbscribe www-announce "Gwen Gall"
The lists:
www-announce
www-html
www-proxy
www-talk
There are some http sites, too. I got these addresses from the new O'Reilly
book "Mosaic for Windows", which I heartily recommend. Comes with GNN software
and enhanced NCSA Mosaic. Great book.
