The problem for somebody else to write some documentation, and I am  
sure there are many people with these skills, is that they need to  
have a very good understanding how a system works.
To get a good understanding of how things work, these people need to  
get in contact with the people who wrote the code. And since these  
people are often so buzy, it's hard to get information from the people  
who wrote the code so the people who want to write.. cannot write  
because they don't understand it well enough... this seems to be a  
circle....

Question for all of us, how can we break this circle??
