<ahem> Watch out for overgeneralization. I'm a programmer that also does technical writing. My forte is industry standards, but I do a fair amount in other areas.
For example, I just got my copy of _Linux IP Stacks Commentary_ (co-written with H.B.J.Clifford, long time associate and partner in crime) in from Coriolis, nine months of reverse-engineering the TCP/IP stack in kernel 2.0.34.
As soon as the core network implementation in Linux appears to have settled in 2.3.x, I'll be starting the technical work on the second edition of the commentary with the target of having a version of the Commentary available based on 2.4.0 final code on the Web once Linus is comfortable with the release and I can complete the reverse-engineering. Publishing the first hack on the Web means less delay from completion of a section to making it available to the readers.
(And before you ask, Coriolis isn't paying anything for the follow-on work until the Second Edition is commissioned -- it's all off my own time and my own dime until then, absent any funding source I can find on my own.)
