  I had been approached a few years ago about writing a libxml2 book,
but it's a lot of work, I didn't had the time (and not much more now)
and it was made relatively clear that financially that may not be very
interesting.
  I don't have much time, so when i have some for libxml2 I prefer to
focuse on bugs or improvements that other contributors are less likely
to provide.

  Sounds better than a wiki in my opinion, I'm fine adding this to CVS
and integrating patches to the docs as they come.

for mails issued by a corporation. Nice !
