I've no idea what's the common practice, but at my software company of about
500 people and five offices, all of the technical writers and documenters
(that includes the translation manager, editor, desktop publishers, etc.)
are in one office (the main one) and one department. We are distinct from
the Marketing writers, etc. We are in the same office as the majority of our
SMEs, too, but on a different floor of the building.
