this is a noble idea/task. Thanks sir Dave.
We'd appreciate very much if the projects will be posted publicly so we will
know if a project has been taken or not; or is it ok to dup? =)

The way of the book world is that folks sign up to write, then
sometimes get sidetracked and don't finish. I don't want the community
to look at a list and expect to see the books on it materialize--I'd
rather the authors individually agreed before announcing their titles.

Cheers

Especially the 'Writing Ruby Extensions' part. There still isn't very
much material on this subject.
