Yes please make a book, and please I beg you: try to annotate as many of the users as possible. Use book wiki materials as needed. Ask if you need further help.

I might add: Chzz, who is almost forgotten today, was one of the biggest assholes I ever saw in WP's database. He sucked up to admins on IRC like a crazy person. And considering that he used sockpuppets to upvote himself on his own RFA in 2009, and then knowingly allowed Douglas Rushkoff to write his own biography, clearly Chzz WAS a lunatic. Complete nobody from the UK, did too many asshole things to list, finally permablocked in 2019 by Bbb23.
