If you are interested in getting the big potential of creativity of the right brainers, they are about 50% of the mankind, but I belive less than 5% of the programmers, then you have to give them a brainfriendly(!) documentation.
Is the problem really just documentation, or could there be something inherent in the nature of programming that doesn't appeal as strongly to "right-brainers"?
The majority of the world's population is under 6 ft. tall, yet only a small subset do well in basketball, no matter how many books describe the rules of the game.
If you'll pardon the reductio ad absurdum, there's a point to it:
Programming is an analytic meditation, in which a goal is broken down into tasks, and those tasks broken down into lines of code. While I believe good programming also involves the "right-brain" skill of pattern recognition, the analytic nature of the task may be a contributing factor to why programming is something only a subset of humanity finds enjoyable.
