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.
When I joined this list a year back, even I could not figure out what it
meant. In an interview with a local company, they mentioned about SME,

I suppose further elaboration would not be required. These are
programmers, technical experts, etc who provide inputs to technical
writers.
I plan to have a list of such abbreviations, including things like BTW,
etc. on my page.
