Let's see...
If you count company wide, it's about 1 writer to 55 people. If you
count just the developers, it's 1 to 26. But like so many people have
pointed out, I really write for the entire company on all facets from
training to tech support to manuals to marketing to, well, I'm sure
you see my point.
Oh, and we do software development. And tech support. And training.
And marketing. But mostly software. Unless it's Friday. Or if the
moon is full.
