Last week an O'Reilly editor I've worked with got in touch with me asking
if I'd be willing to write such a book. I can't consider it because of my
current commitments, but if anyone from the dev team (perhaps a few folks
working together) is interested, I'd be happy to forward them your
information.
Andy's correct, though: from my experience, writing a book is much more
work than you might anticipate, and in general the compensation for your
time is comparatively scant. You'd be doing it for the fame rather than
the fortune ;)
