Well, the company I work for has doc sitting behind my desk at home, but 
that solution doesn't work well with a small home office and more than, 
say, three people in the department.

In reality, the best way to organize the doc department is to work under 
the most laid-back, least micro-managing executive who is most likely to 
say "sure, whatever you need" to any question you ask. That's how we 
ended up working under the Shipping department at one company. (OK, 
that's made up, but it illustrates my point: it doesn't matter, as long 
as they leave you alone to do your job.)

Hope this helps, but you may not see it that way,
