It could be a good idea to pay someone
for the documentation - maybe somebody new
to the project and willing to help with the
nitty gritty (a computer literate biologist ?
a part-time person who is studying and comes
in once a week ?).

 Still, I think that a true 
"manual" would also help: start with the
problem, solve it with Bioperl, show
how it was done including the code.

Cheers,

Alessandro.
