Just a quick addition to the list: it also helps to be
a naturally detail-oriented person. If your friend doesn't
accept things at face value, asks a lot of "why" and "how"
questions, and takes pains to avoid carelessness or sloppiness
in his/her work, I'd also consider that a good qualification
for tech writing (given that the writing skills and some kind of
technical background are there). By the way, the technical background
doesn't necessarily have to be in the same field (though it
helps) -- any kind of technical work requires a certain level
of logical thought that will help in learning another technical
field (IMO).
