Like you, I am not short of things to do but would be willing to contribute to this process.
I guess the first thing to be clarified is whether the WG wants an Implementation Guide or not. Then, assuming they do, an idea of hoped-for timetable and scope would be good.
Since I have, on the whole, sat back and let the discussion/war flow on this list I guess I should briefly mention some relevant credentials. Since writing text seems to be the main task which needs to be done I will focus comments in that direction.
I guess the most recent relevant writing is as co-author with Danny Ayers of Beginning RSS & Atom Programming which should be published by Wrox any day now.
I have also written all or part of various XML or XML-associated books including Pro XML (2nd Edition), Beginning XML (3rd Edition), Pro XSL, Teach Yourself XML in 10 Minutes, XPath Essentials, XML Schema Essentials and Designing SVG Web Graphics.
I have also, in times past, poked hard with the pointy stick at assorted W3C working drafts including XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, XQuery 1.0, SVG 1.x and XForms 1.0.
If anyone well-qualified has lots of time on their hands I would be happy to let them proceed with the task. :)

In case this got buried in the previous thread, last fall I wrote but
never publicized a minimal draft of an Atom Implementation Guide.

Due to my commitments elsewhere, I can not promise that I will ever
finish this alone. If the WG wants to publish an implementation guide
as an RFC, I need a co-editor who is willing to write -- not provide
feedback, not sit in the peanut gallery and poke at it with sharp
pointy objects, but actually *write* -- a substantial portion of it.
You would have complete control over its direction and be listed as
the primary author; I may be able to contribute specific sections as
time permits.
Please reply on-list.
