Why would weblinks have to be removed? Well, certainly some of them, but some
should stay (for example: in an article about a book, a link to on-line
edition of the book). Imagine article about Google without having Google's
URL ;)))
I'm sorry to repeat myself, but I still think my
idea is the best. Getting
a full, printed version of Wikipedia is going to require a LOT of effort.
IMO, those side projects fall short of it by orders of magnitude. Plus, it
would mean that users would have to keep track of two seperate Wikipedia
namespaces - not something that most people are going to do.
I agree, and it probably wouldn't require big changes to the software. Just
the ability to set the access rights to the articles, and (not absolutely
neccesary) automatic announcing on articles' pages about existence of print
versions.
