That said, I don't think a WWII book (for
example) would be a success
- there's enough of that around. Finding a cool, interesting topic
that
* includes lots of (good) Wikipedia articles
* hasn't been covered by thousands of "experts" already
is the real first challange IMHO.

That's a book waiting to happen!
Then, who'd publish it? A group of users could
easily put a PDF on
lulu.com and pay for an ISBN, but would this group be liable for
copyright infrigment if it is discovered after the book has been
printed 10K times?
That's why doing it through a commercial publisher and licensing the
name and puzzle globe would be a suitable way of doing it :-)
