I think I'd be insulted to be called 'documentation writer'; actually
writing documentation
amounts to less than 20% of my time. For the rest, I am wiki
manager/editor/engineer/
evangelist, blog coach, usability consultant, editor, online help
developer, GUI developer,
XML consultant, localization manager, english dictionary, translator,
and acknowledged
gadget uber-geek.
I am just 'THE tech writer'
Simon.
