The Website itself seems to be primarily for Purdue courses, and there
isn't much on outside work.  It appears that they have a large and
rather progressive Professional Writing department with an interesting
technical bent (Open Source, CMS and blogging, not DocBook though).
There's an overview of them here:

The topics that students are writing about for their courses are also
rather hip (Creative Commons, Abiword, OpenBSD...):

The best contact seems to be:

Dr. David Blakesley  (blakesle at purdue.edu), Director.
