not advantageous to list a technical writer as a primary or even
secondary author. There seems to be an unwritten rule that
the developer always gets listed as primary author, even if they
only added two sentences to a 1500-word article.

What are your thoughts on the subject?>

I generally defer to the technical person, thinking that without me,
they'd have a poorly-written document, but without them, there would be
no document at all.
