Sorry, I really don't mean that to be flippant. Just pointing out that
we could probably handle the proofreading within the Wikimedia network.
FYI: There's a project digitalizing the German Meyers Konversationlexikon
from 1888 and most of the content in included to the German WP
after proofreading and such. I don't know excact figures but google-search
indicates that about 200 articles already were imported, though this is
surely only a fifth of the real imports.

Personally I'm against buying encylopedias in the major languages from en:
to pl: and would like to suggest to give WPs with less than 5000 articles
an helpfull basis.
Images and drawings would be a very good thing, even more than text.
