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.
Agreed. And we should clean up some stuff, for example "list of obscure things"
articles before we gather content for any such project.
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.

Do you/somebody still hold trademark on "Wikipedia?"
