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.
If anyone has subscribed to or seen a copy of Sharon Burton's
RoboNEWS newsletter, please share your impressions & opinion,
either privately to me or with the group if you're so inclined.
This sounds like a valuable resource, but at $100/year it's not
an impulse purchase for me...I need to justify anything over $15.
