Thanks for the feedback.
My idea is to initially take the data from the intro of wiki page, but when somebody suggests a change, then the suggestions will be put up for voting. Most voted suggestion will go onto the card.
Are you familiar with contributing to Wikipedia? There's an edit link, you change stuff and once you press "Save" it immediately goes live (oh well, on wikis with FlaggedRevs your change will need to be reviewed by an experienced editor for compliance with basic principles, but still not as complex and exploitable as voting). Why should changing a minor part about an article be more complex and bureaucratic that editing the page altogether?
I really like that idea of putting special tags for syncing. But, won't that change the literal structure of the main article?
Once you separate the extract from the article, you will have a problem of having to update the extract to reflect the latest state of the article, it it really worth it?
