I've just briefly touched base with Apress on the idea and the editor I spoke to sounds very interested. He says that they can divide the book up amongst any number of authors, and also do bylines for each of the chapters so that the respective authors will be noted. Typically in this situation there is one person who acts as the lead on the project. That way the editors and project coordinators at Apress can work with the lead, rather than all of the separate authors.
Anyone interested in taking lead on the book? If so then I can get you in touch with the editor and we can get the details of each author/chapter, etc. worked out.
