Well, part of that would hinge on what exactly we're going to be doing for them. Are we going to give them wikitext and they're going to properly format it and work out the GFDL issues and whatnot? Or are we expected to provide them material in whatever their preferred format is, and with all the details worked out?
I'd say that's open ended at this point. Everything is. We should brainstorm about it.
Of course any publisher can come in and take the wikitext and make their own "Joe's Publishing Company Encyclopedia", without consulting us.
But what makes more sense for us, and for a publisher I think, is for us to use this to "prove" our quality by going to print, under the Wikipedia name. And for that we probably want to do as much of the work as we can.
