Lazyweb: Tech writing

If one were looking to move into tech writing, having done some in the course of trying to survive various other positions in computer work ...

What sort of portfolio would one like to have? Keep in mind that any documentation written for previous / current organizations is likely unavailable. Is there a standard for this ? Obviously work on public wikis is fair game...

Any other tips or comments on this topic will be appreciated.

On a related note, how does the line "those who can code, those who can't teach and write documentation" work? It's not quite there yet.
