In order to start a project, you have to provide the vision and the
impetus.  Without those, you are only stating an idea and hoping
someone else will provide the vision and the impetus.  The thing is,
if nobody else happens to be ready with vision and impetus for a
manual, nobody will do that.

The starting challenge is, what sort of book would do a useful Emacs
job that the existing three books don't do well?
