[WikiEN-l] de:wp to be made into a book

Basically, they're taking the first paragraph or lead section of
50,000 or so articles to make into a 1000-page concise desk
encyclopedia.

This is why the lead summary of articles is *vastly* important. It
must be a complete standalone short article in itself.

By pushing this stylistic rule on en:wp, we can make it a better
encyclopedia and more reusable for those without internet connections.
