No.  But I might edit one.

As a start, what do we have for prior art that has been let go by the previous 
copyright holders?  We have (I think) three people on this mailing list who are 
authors of non-trivial works.  Culling those into a single, new, document, 
could work well.  But something under 400 pages would be nice.  What I envision 
is a 20-30 page concise user guide that explains the basics of using MH, 
practically.  Enough to set people off on an adventure, if they want to go 
there.

Exactly.
