Hi everybody,
I miss in Wikipedia a page like a book-page in an old-style lexicon. In
the past I search something in an printed lexicon and found on the same
page an interesting image and read a total other text, about this
interesting image.
Now we can do this also in Wikipedia. I wrote a Perl-script which scan
the dumps of a language and sort the title. An other script get via API
the first paragraph and the first image of all articles of one page.
This result will be represented in a multicolumn page in many browsers
(FF, Safari, Chromium). At the moment 36 languages are supported.

Maybe a better programmer can implement something like this in the
Mediawiki-Software.
