I suppose what we most need for this is a system whereby we can mark 
articles (rather: specific article revisions) as "ready for print".

For now, I think we can do something similar (or perhaps even identical) 
to "Featured Articles" (formerly "Brilliant Prose"), except of course 
making it clear that this is for a print encyclopedia. Ideally, we 
should keep a running total of the number of articles and the total 
number of bytes in them as we build up this list.

So, someone wanna start [[Wikipedia:Articles selected for print]] as 
well as [[Wikipedia:Print candidate articles]] (or [[Wikipedia:Vote for 
inclusion in print]] or whatever)?
