DDIC contributor on resume - yes or no?

Hi guys:

Is it considered a positive or not to list "contributor to DDIC" on resume during experienced lateral recruiting? (especially if one is switching strategies a bit). On the surface it would seem to me that this would be a positive, but how do funds view people who write about ideas on their own time (would there be a concern that they might share what the fund does? that they are not 100% focused on their job, etc.?)

Thanks
