How will it differ from existing resources like http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/ and how do we avoid duplicating effort? Who is the target audience - what are they expected to know already, and what tasks should the guide help them understand? For instance, you could focus on those parts needed for common types of third-party extension. Then you can think about whether to update the existing content one page at a time, or remove it and start again with a more focused guide, which would be easier to start, and easier to keep up to date as the engine evolves.
