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.
It depends on what you want to do, and what is important to your career
development. As John Gilger rightly pointed out in response to my previous post,
it can be a lot of fun to write different types of documents.
You might want to get more information on the type of product specifications. Are
these detailed functional specs for developers, or higher-level specs that might
be used with potential customers? How much actual writing would be doing and much
editing of other people's drafts?
