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.
Re an online conference. This may be a very effective way to combine
presentations and more extensive online resources. Can we use webcasting?
Or just streaming audio? An online conference will almost certainly draw a
much larger group (1000?).
As a followup to Eric's comments, while I like the idea of an online
resource, with possibly a conference to supplement, I think there's still a
value to a group of us putting some sort of product together ourselves.
Someone mentioned an online conference, which sounds very interesting.
What intrigues me most about the idea is that of group participation.
Eric's post talked about his organization providing a conference to us, as a
product. This is certainly a valid approach, taken by organizations around
the world.
But what I'm more interested in is not something served up to me, but rather
an experience created by a group of people making an effort to share
information. As organizers, we decide what we want and how we want to
present it, and as participants we determine what we get out of it. To me,
that's where the interest lay. And it seems a natural extension of this
community list.
