Nice! I love that someone has finally settled the size-in-volumes debate in a somewhat... direct... fashion.
Incidentally, the largest print serial I'm aware of is the 'Serial Set' of American official papers; it currently runs to around 14,000 volumes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congressional_Serial_Set
So we're half-way there.
If we take the reasonable guess that enwiki is about the same text volume as all other Wikipedias put together, then we're probably just about to overtake them...

What's a cool thing you just discovered or are involved in that is happening in the Wikimedia world?
Hi.
This story about an art exhibit opening in New York on Thursday is pretty neat. A Wikipedian has been working for years to create a print version of Wikipedia, described as "half utilitarian data visualization project, half absurdist poetic gesture." Hopefully we'll have photos of the project on Wikimedia Commons soon.
