Well, I'm not sure what exactly was being proposed, and that is one of
the questions I'm asking on the group, who exactly should the
organisation be for?

Other options include technical writers, system admins, even pure print
designers since this site is for freelancers as opposed to just web
based ones.

What kind of organisation would you like it to be?

By the way, I agree there should be a bit of both, but mostly to enable
the designer to understand the developer's problems more and visa-versa.
