Help!
Wikibooks in in disarray, and we need to work together to make it presentable, if we really want anyone to ever use it.
We have been working on the (English) main page for the last week, getting rid of the bunches of dead links, organizing the information, and makin' it look purty. But there is still work to be done there. Especially making sure that all of the links that are there take people right to the information that will be most helpful to them, and eliminating or consolidating all other options.
And there is still a lot of work to be done to the pages that are linked from the front page, as these are the first and most important pages that newcomers will find. (Especially Wikibooks:About; Welcome, newcomers; Wikibooks:FAQ; etc.)
It is time to begin to elect a couple of books that we can take as far as possible, to ready them for actual real-world use. It is much better to have one great example than have 1,000 bad, mediocre, or half-done examples.

PS I was living outside my homeland for over a year there, in a place with limited internet access. But now I am back, and eager to get back to work to make this a resource that really will change the world!
