Well, we contacted someone in the WMF a while ago, and didn't come away with much. In any case it seems unlikely that a wiki version of the book would ever have any "official" standing. Where it relies on actual Wikipedia pages, those pages are the real thing and the book can only be a sort of mirror (probably out of date, as mirrors tend to be).
