For linguistic research on plural phenomena I am looking for electronically
available *technical* documents from different areas. These technical
documents could be (software) specifications, instructions, maintenance
manuals, system descriptions etc. The documents should be written in full
or controlled natural language (preferably English).

I need a reasonably large and diverse set of texts but found it difficult
to get freely available sources.

Does anyone know of a collection of such text types? Do there even exist
tagged corpora of technical texts?

If not, would you mind sending me your favourite technical documents?

Thanks for your help,

Uta.
