On this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join It previously said "Content Developer" for this link: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join#ContentDeveloper Where it says, "Description of this role: Communicate through words." So why don't we say "Technical Writer"? Well, I did update the role today to say "Content Developer (Writer)" instead, so at least it's not deceiving. One reason is to maintain the developer/contributor paradigm -- everyone is a developer. Another is to align with new industry standards. Yet, I have personally had problems with this label, so I am mixed about the usage. The main reason is that most job roles look for "technical writing" skills, which are specific to technical roles/needs. A "content developer" could be developing content about toothpaste and cat food; there is nothing in the title that specifies that it is focused on the technical aspects. Your thoughts?
