Money?

Seriously, I don't know too many people whose idea of "scratching an itch" is writing documentation. There aren't a lot of documentation-hobbyists out there, as far as I know...

I've found the feeding infants a mixture of milk mixed with 25% pulverized IRS forms and 10% pulverized army field manuals, results in a 65% chance that by age 8, they will be obsessed with writing documentation.

By next year, we'll have an army of 1,000,000 tech writers ready to serve the emperor and rebuild the empire, errr, or at least document it's rebuilding.

I'm curious, is your user name supposed to be Robo-Trout or Robot-Rout?
