That's a bad idea :-)

Sure, *some* programmers make good documenteers, but in my experience
they're the exception, not the rule.  My own documentation skills suck.
Essentially, if you think like me you'll have no problems.  I'm very bad at
seeing the problem from other people's perspective.  And I'm too old to
change now.  I'm at the "shout louder if they didn't understand the first
time" stage of life.

I do agree though, we're open source.  We should all pull our own weight
and not expect others to pick up our own slack.  It's only in a corporate
environment that I'd insist on professionals doing the documentation.
