This is the Philodemus cache DM's talking about, right? Of which *On Music*, at least, is already published? I asked folks on list about the Philodemus project about a year or more ago, and someone (MC, probably, or perhaps Gabriel Bodard) gave me the address for their website and perhaps a short bibliography.
 

Yes, the villa dei Papiri. Delattre has just defended his these on On Music, the text is due out or already out from Bud=E9.

Janko's On Poems book I is also supposed to be out now:

Philodemus: On Poems Book 1
Edited with Introduction, Translation, and Commentary by Richard Janko, Professor of Greek,
University College London
608 pages, 16pp halftone plates, 234mm x 156mm

Description
Readership: Classical scholars and students concerned with literary criticism, poetics, ancient
 philosophy, and aesthetics.
The On Poems by Philodemus, a Greek philosopher and poet who influenced the poets of Augustan
 Rome, is our main source for the literary theory of the Hellenistic Age. In Book 1, a major new addition
 to the corpus of classical literature, Philodemus summarises several previously unknown poetic
theories. This book begins a series of new texts and translations of the aesthetic works of Philodemus
rescued from the lava of Vesuvius.
                        
DM asks whose wishlist - the Philodemus project people, first of all, I suppose.

The earlier volume edited by Dirk Obbink is probably still a good starting point for the background (Philodemus, Piso, etc):
Philodemus and Poetry:Poetic Theory and Practice in Lucretius, Philodemus, and Horace (Obbink ed.)
Oxford 1995
