Thats not a bad idea Roger.  Perhaps the www.list.org site
could put up a list of consultants like postgresql does.
And the consultants can post the deliverables back to the site
afterwards.

OKAY we like money, our rates are $88/hour for technical
documentation, and that is a reasonable price.  
 
Just let us know what documentation you want and if
we have the resources we will give you an estimate.

However one of the team now working on mailman would probably be 
more efficient.  Do I hear a bid, $125.00 per hour, not more
than $200/hour I would deem.
