Writing a focused book of around 100 pages can be done in 3-6

There are these books floating around where various programmers
actually come together to write them. Each author take charge
of a section. They go like:
Problem: How to rename all files in a directory.
Solution: ......
They take advantage of common tasks and make them into a book.
These books really sell. D community/Consortium can do similar
if is worth it.
Wrox Publishing uses this model. Not all their books are really
good, but they can be decent. I was thinking the D Language
Foundation could do the same. But I guess someone has to take the
reigns, make a plan and mobilize people.
