While I'm thinking about it:
I would like to see the WMF solicit feedback on these kinds of issues - how it might further its goals (distribution for example) - from the wider readership. The small, well informed and focused group on foundation-l can do a lot, but what about inviting everyone to the conversation in a medium that makes it easy for them to contribute their ideas?
Erik, you had pitched us the Ideazilla application not too long ago. That in coordination with a site notice would be an awesome experiment. Let's do it sooner rather than later? :)

The three main ideas I found were
- Offline Handheld Wikipedia Reader
- Dead Tree Technology
- Wikipedia TV
All three contain quite a bit of promise. What will it take to get the WMF to broaden its distribution efforts?
