I've been approached by a major publisher about

working with us to producing and publish a print edition of Wikipedia.
One goal would be to have something ready for market
by October 1st,
in time for the holiday gift season. I'm unsure of how early before
that *we* would need to be ready.
I suppose what we most need for this is a system whereby we can mark
articles (rather: specific article revisions) as "ready for print".
For now, I think we can do something similar (or perhaps even identical)
to "Featured Articles" (formerly "Brilliant Prose"), except of course
making it clear that this is for a print encyclopedia. Ideally, we
should keep a running total of the number of articles and the total
number of bytes in them as we build up this list.
So, someone wanna start [[Wikipedia:Articles selected for print]] as
well as [[Wikipedia:Print candidate articles]] (or [[Wikipedia:Vote for
inclusion in print]] or whatever)?
