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.
We're working on something similar here. This is what is called (right
now) next-generation help, but someday we hope will be standard for
projects that need it. From what we've found, you're going to need a
component in the application that processes a number of user variables,
and serves up a list of help pages that match and/or turns on
conditions in those pages using the "drop-down" window function that
WebWorks at least appears to support.
