I've long been fond of the idea of a selection of Wikipedia's best 
FAs[0] published in a coffee table book or something.  Hardly as 
Beneficial For the World as Wikipedia-on-DVD, but Good For Wikipedia, at 
least.



[0] Make no mistake, some of our FAs are crap.  Either they got that way
     through crafty application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, or
     they just plain sucked when they passed the FA process ...
