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 you're looking for tech writing contracts, I'd suggest that you talk to TPS:
www.t-p-s.com
They specialize in placing tech writers. Last time I checked, they also had
a bazillion postings on the local STC job bank
(http://www.stc-carolina.org/www/weeklyjobs.shtml) -- which is always a
good place to look for job openings locally.
Note: I know and like the people who run TPS, but I don't have any
financial stake in your contacting them.
I also have a few contacts locally who are looking for writers (permanent
jobs). If you're interested in high-end software docs, drop a note to
