Sounds like many of the companies I have been in contact with: where the
heck do we put these tech writer people, anyhow??

Sometimes they are in the QA group. Sometimes they are in development.
Sometimes they are part of a whole marketing/training/doc group. 

It's good to see the academic world properly recreating a real world
