Thanks everyone for the responses, thus far. I agree that even if there is a small changeset between NetBeans 8.2 and Apache NetBeans 9.0, there are enough differences to add value. Also just a book including Apache NetBeans in the title is a must. Id be happy to author a chapter is we decide to have a community-written book. Would also be beneficial to include a chapter on contributing, building from source, etc..
