Not sure about Wikipedia 0.5 (~2000 articles), but SOS's press release for the Wikipedia Selection for Schools (~4000 articles) says it's equivalent to 15 volumes:

"The Selection DVD has the content of a 15 volume encyclopaedia - with 24,000 pictures, 14 million words and articles on 4,625 topics."
