Jochen and I, authors of the 2010 printed OpenStreetMap book, have unsuccessfully tried to morph that book into some kind of open source project; we were contacted by different people over time who wanted to have a go at and we played along it but it never came to a point where there was any hope of it becoming a sustainable project. Of course that book went far beyond just tagging, attempting to also document how various editors work and how to make maps. I've kind of lost hope that anything could ever become of that - it's a lot of work and it is very ahrd to do collectively in a "everyone just edits one tiny little bit and somehow a coherent whole will emerge" kind of way.
