Presumably that's up to the people that want to run the store! :-)
Mostly, I just wanted to be able to update the grossly outdated content
on that site, when I started this thread. Alas, I'm still not getting a
response from anyone that can actually do this.

True, whether or not to pursue the exploitation of an e-commerce activity
by The ASF is something that needs to analysed thoroughly regarding the
fiscal and social implications.
But, before such endeavour is undertaken the ASF could use the
capabilities
of OFBiz to showcase the books related to the works of the Apache Projects
(without opening it up to take in orders). This could assist (in a unified
way) in branding the products of the Apache projects. And this can be done
by (delegated to) any interested contributor within any project. And
thereby achieving that the list of books is more up to date than it is
today.
What we have encouraged in the past is for people/companies to set up
their own stores and welcomed any donations that they wished to make back
to the Foundation from profits. We've never really entertained the notion
of an official store.
