So basically I think if we don't do it ourselves, somebody else will start sifting out "good articles" from Wikipedia. I think we can do a better job of it though, and keep the results under the Wikipedia name.
No matter who does it, the resulting collection needs not only be even in quality, but also well balanced. It cannot be detailed on physics and lack classic music. (Unless it is an "encyclopedia of physics".)
I doubt that this will be achievable in the near time. You are free to prove me wrong, of course.
If thinking about this goal can lead to the identification of areas where Wikipedia today lacks detail, that can be good enough, even if the goal in itself isn't reached.
