"Information Developer" doesn't work for me. IMO, writers take information
and mold it into something usable. A fiction writer is an information
developer; a tech writer is more of an information filter or designer.
How about "Information Designer"?
<aside> I hate all these alternative titles anyway. I'm a tech writer,
damnit! ;-)
