Do you know why they're reticent? Some possibilities are: - they're extremely busy - previous TW was an idiot/chatterbox/psychopath... - boss yells at them if they miss a deadline; boss doesn't yell at them if they don't talk to the TW - docs are perceived as irrelevant or low priority Which angles you try first depends on which reasons apply most.
