I have been asked if I plan a second edition of the Apache Modules Book.

The existing book was motivated by my perception of a big gap in the market.  The book filled that gap, and substantially still does: I believe it can still help a developer up the learning curve to working with our server!  However, things have moved on since publication, and a book for HTTPD 2.4 should ideally cover additional topics, as well as revise some of the existing contents.

If there is to be a second edition, I believe it should be a multi-author work.  For me to revisit it in isolation would be sure to produce something rather stale, particularly when revising old contents.  So the first question: who is interested in principle in contributing to a multi-author effort?

If there is sufficient interest in a second edition, I can contact my publisher and ask if they're interested.  Unfortunately I think my editor has moved on, so I don't know who I'll be dealing with.  If they're interested then I think they have a right of first refusal, although obviously that doesn't apply if someone else takes the lead and writes a new book rather than a second edition.
