I also heard about this list from Techwr-L. I work for a NATO NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) Contractor in Maryland. I write a little bit of everything, mainly User Guides and SVDs (Software Version Descriptions) and Requirements docs. I also keep an Acronym Dictionary and a company newsletter and Wiki. In the past I have worked for a webhosting company and an electronic education company. I have worked at my current position for two years and love it, mainly because my commute went from 30 miles to one mile! :) I find these lists to be a great source of help and guidance. Melissa
