AFAIK, we're going for a one-volume desktop edition first. In the early
days of Nupedia (when the earth was still flat), someone (Jimbo or
Larry) mused about one day printing an encyclopedia on "phone book
paper". Shouldn't bee too far off the scale, especially if we get some
educational/humanitarian organization to share the costs with.

After reading that article I begin to have serious
doubts about the
viability of a print version. What would the production costs actually
be? Even giving volunteer editing, printing, binding and distribution
costs might exceed any reasonable price. Remember we are talking about
a multi-volume work, or are we? Maybe a 1 volume, "Best of", would be
the way to go.
