Sounds good!

We do have [[Wikipedia:WikiReader]], which (if nothing else) gives some other
examples of how other people have gone about things. A "How to start a
WikiReader" page would certainly be useful, though.

Well, the project for a WikiReader in Cryptography hasn't stalled (and let me
take this opportunity to plug it!); since the end of last month we've been
running an "Article of the Day" scheme to polish the content. We're taking a
little longer (planning to release in November) and are including around 70
articles. Project page is here:
