Re: Definition of Tech Writer, was STC is broken

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Isn't everybody in this thread?

In most industries, "documentation anything" is most 
commonly another name for someone who works in 
document or configuration control.  Next in frequency 
come the rapidly-vanishing production specialists 
that Fred describes.

Technical writers still living in the dot-com era who 
insist on continuing to invent new-age job titles for
themselves really need to do some research and
not glom onto job names that are already being
used, and especially names that are already being 
frequently confused between two other jobs.
