Perhaps a "professional writer" is needed.  If people put up
advertisements at your local college, perhaps a few english
majors (*very* valueable people) would be interested in
helping out with the documentation.  It would look good
on their resume and would get them "published".

On a side note,  you could also advertise for Jouralism
majors to put out a monthly PostgreSQL newsletter!

Thoughts?
