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.
Oh, it's much longer-lived than that. Flare comes from those same
wonderful folks who gave us RoboHelp way back when, and back in RH's Blue
Sky days, it had (surprise, surprise) really awful online help. Back then,
what made this acceptable was the quick and cheerful manner in which they
took every tech support phone call. No idea what things are like at
MadCap, as I've not done any OLH in years.
