I think this would be an excellent opportunity for a technical writing
position. But then I have done those sorts of things before. Last fall, I
gave a workshop on HTML to the department faculty and staff at the
University I attend. I wrote the materials for class; in teaching the
workshops, I saw where my writing could be improved in the documentation
materials I had prepared; and the faculty, staff and graduate students in
the department learned something new.
