Sounds to me like you are the manager or the director
of technical publications. Rise to the occasion, and
figure out what the next step is. You'll need to put
together a plan for the documentation, and show it to
the VP to whom you would like to report. The rest of
it is up to you. After you've made your case for what
has to be done, hire some good writers. There are
plenty of us right here in TECHWR-L ready to work for
you if only you'll lead us. We'll even teach you how
to be a good boss and how to get those SMEs to answer
your writers' questions.
