Hi all,
I would like to give you a pointer to indywikia project. Indywikia is an open source project that aims to browse wikipedia on an intuitive and different way! Article's images are displayed in tenths, plus the ones of related articles, thus one can quickly get an idea what the article is about, or discover related ones!
Text is split on titles, links, paragraphs blocks. Hope that you will find the project interesting!

I looked at the screenshots, and to be honest saw nothing that couldn't be done with JavaScript directly in the browser. But then, I didn't test the package, so there is probably some more goodness hidden inside.
As a suggestion: I once started a wikipedia browsing software not dissimilar to this approach; it also showed backlinks in the sidebar, and it had a navigation page with the current articke in the center (as icon), and linked/backlinked pages around it. clicking on one would bring that in the center, and so on...
Cheers, Magnus

Just a comment on the name "Indywikia" -- it makes it sound like your project is somehow related to Indymedia and/or Wikia. Or at least, that's what I thought of when I read it.
