A suggestion: Rather than (or perhaps in addition to) trolling the newsgroups looking for volunteers, go looking for likely victims (er -- authors) and contact them. I was recruited at the Embedded Systems Conference, because I was giving a talk. My editor-to-be asked if I had thought of writing a book -- and dangit if I didn't have a table of contents already prepared.

Find folks with well-written, on-topic web sites, or who are giving well-constructed, on-topic talks, or who write good, cognizant posts on topics you may wish to publish. Then ask them if they're interested in writing a book.
