You mean as a consumer or author? ;-) 

Seriously, what makes it so hard to assemble a few minds from 
this list to spend a few weeks working on one chapter each, 
with somebody else plus a publisher like O'Reilly doing the 
editing? 

I know these folks are mad for publishing books and finding 
new authors and themes... Maybe some folks from the EDU-SIG 
might also have a word to say when it comes to curricula...? 

Just an idea...
