New static HTML dumps of all Wikipedia editions are now available:

http://static.wikipedia.org/

Altogether, the dumps are 650GB uncompressed, 40GB compressed.

I think a reasonable next step for this project would be to write filter scripts that take a compressed dump, reduce the article count in some way, and then recompress it, possibly in a different format. For instance, we could have a "most popular 4GB" of the English Wikipedia, based on page view statistics, recompressed as an SQLite database.
