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 used to use the "official" term of Preface and the usual contents one
would find in a preface, but that changed over the past year. We now use the
title, "About This Manual" if the information is generic about the manual and
"Getting Started" if the information contained in it really should be read.
This makes things easier on the reader (user) and the writing staff.
