Call for Participation: Technical Communication Body of Knowledge

[Bill Swallow]

The Society for Technical Communication invites all SIG members to participate in a project aimed at defining the broad outline of topics most relevant to the practice and teaching of technical
communication. A charter document describing the project is linked on the home
page of a wiki, http://stcbok.editme.com/Home, where you will also find information on how to volunteer to contribute to the
project.

The TCBOK is in its infancy. It offers a unique and unusual opportunity
for you to share what you know about particular topics in technical
communication. So far the area of the current wiki concerned with your skills (http://stcbok.editme.com/BusinessKnowledge) contains only an outline of topics. We are looking for volunteers to add brief
topic overviews with links and short bibliographies. Ideas for involving your
organization through collaborative projects or sponsored content are
welcomed.

Sign up at http://stcbok.editme.com/Volunteering or for more information contact: Mark Clifford ([e-mail]) or Mark Hanigan ([e-mail]).
