I stumbled across the following similar request in Google Answers the
other day:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=318831

The answer is a impressively detailed summary that aggregates many
different anecdotes, quotes, and links describing experiences with
offshore tech writing. Caveat: I didn't investigate further, so
certainly I don't vouch for the overall truthfulness or objectivity of
the answer. Take with salt to taste.
