We're planning to set up 4 data displays in the

here is not to appear "hip", but to make the office environment more
interesting for visitors, such as potential donors. This creates
conversation pieces and memorable moments - which is important for
cultivating relationships.
I have hacked something based on my "Commons sum-it-up" tool.
It starts on a Wikipedia page and prints the first paragraph. Then, it
follows the language links and does the same to all of these.
Use
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/summarizer.php?basedon=en&title=Wikip…
for a spefic title, and
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/summarizer.php?baseon=en&title=random…
for a randomly chosen title. It will reload a new random title after 5
seconds once it's through.
