WOW What a question. Might have to add a lot of responses to cover all the people I'd like to see sponsor these books.

Call me boring, but I like the books from Microsoft Press. They contain the most authoritative info, and their typos and plain errors are much fewer than they were 5 years ago.

Another one for the pot. How about BCS (British Computer Society) doing some on ITIL Best Practices etc.

As to the ITIL comment, we actually have an e-book, written by Rebecca Herold (who leads our IT Compliance community) on ITIL. You can get it at:

How about a community book on real-life installations and configurations of Windows 2003, 2008, Citrix?

Stuart's last comment is one that I know we're in the process of investigating. W2008 is going to be a huge topic, and I know it would make an excellent e-book (if not a series of them).
Not to toot my own horn, but I'll be having an e-book of my own on Server 2008 coming out soon through SAPIEN press. It should be ready in a couple of weeks. You can check out the link at:
