How many would pay a small sum $10- $20 for a short webinar (20 minutes
presentation followed by -10-15 minutes discussion ) on one or more
specific topics?
What topics would be the most popular?
Would anyone want to offer these?

There are already two or three books available with Apache CXF,
several more if you consider the broader category of JAX-WS / SOAP or
REST web services.
Perhaps a book is less indicated for CXF compared to other projects
because it implements specifications that are already defined
elsewhere and implemented on multiple projects as well. Also, there
are multiple blogs on web services and we have pretty good online
documentation, at least compared to other projects that do have such
books.
While Robert, being an author of multiple books himself, may be
itching himself to write another book--go to town, I say!--ultimately
I have to take issue with his premise that we "should" write a book.
Most books are notorious money-losers, the time put in vs. money
derived from it in general is very poor. People write books because
they see it as a mountain they want to climb, an additional
accomplishment they wish to have under their belt, something that gets
them to avoid doing household chores from their spouse--not for the
negative financial benefits that such books normally engender. Absent
any desire to climb that mountain, it's best not to bother. You can
instead take a bunch of money out of your savings account and burn it,
as such an action would provide the same financial effect of writing a
book while taking far less time.

I would suggest an eBook only CXF In Action book as the amount of
trees it would take to properly cover CXF might increase CO2 levels
drastically at a global level :)
An authoritative reference manual would be great, I doubt though that
any of the CXF committers could find the time to put the necessary
energy and time into one, writing books is all consume from what I've
heard.

I think the same (MEAP effort) could be down for a "CXF in Action".
