Re: THANKS! Re: Software engineer tech. writers? Do they exist?

I think some do contribute, but there are a lot of other people who
want to write documentation. Some of them do quite well. The PHP5
documentation is at times exceptional.

Many tech writers get a start with volunteer projects including but not
limited to F/OSS work.
