IMHO, discussions of the business side of tech writing (insurance,
negotiations with publishers, ways to obtain business--for those working
as independent contractors, etc, are as much a matter of interest at
issues related to teaching or technical aspects of writing.
I, at least, would welcome discussion of issues pertinent to writing from
the authorial point of view also.
