Hi all,
Since the Concise Wikipedia proposal[1] has been mentioned in the last two Signpost editions[2][3] (and after being nudged by Sumana), I figured I'd drop a note here in case anyone will be interested in trying out a demo I set up to explore the idea, espoused by many in the proposal discussion, that such a proposal should not be a separate project, but integrate with Wikipedia's lead/introduction sections instead.
I called my demo "Primerpedia" (suggestions for better names welcome, see [4]), and it can be accessed here: http://waldir.github.com/primerpedia
It uses the API to fetch the lead section of an article (currently only loading random articles is implemented), and displays it isolated, which should provide a good way to test its expected self-containing, summarizing properties, as defined in the MOS:LEAD guideline.
I am aware of several shortcomings in the current implementation and plan to improve it further; any suggestions or issue reports are welcome at [5] or directly on this thread for convenience.

I love it! I am a [[Special:random]] addict and offering only the first paragraph will let me get more random articles per minutes :-D
I love the green Edit button.
Maybe we should adopt your tool to replace / enhance Wikipedia main landing page at http://www.wikipedia.org/
A minor suggestion: maybe add a footer listing the license and the URL of the article.

I have some Web 2.0 ideas that I don't know if break standards, or possible.
1) change the #hash of the page to the term defined. 2) wen the page load, checks the hash, and autoload the term of the hash
http://waldir.github.com/primerpedia/#Ceratucha would autoload the article Ceratucha
I like the idea of a Concise Wikipedia,... It seems another way to make a pedia better.
On my company we just launched a "Subjetivism Pedia" in spanish named cloping.com, with all the definitions, one for every person on every subject ( so Wikipedia can have all the objetivism, and cloping.com everything else )
