AFAIK, we're going for a one-volume desktop edition first. In the early days of Nupedia (when the earth was still flat), someone (Jimbo or Larry) mused about one day printing an encyclopedia on "phone book paper". Shouldn't bee too far off the scale, especially if we get some educational/humanitarian organization to share the costs with.

After reading that article I begin to have serious doubts about the viability of a print version. What would the production costs actually be? Even giving volunteer editing, printing, binding and distribution costs might exceed any reasonable price. Remember we are talking about a multi-volume work, or are we? Maybe a 1 volume, "Best of", would be the way to go.
