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.

Project page with screens

Homepage of "The Book"
http://toolserver.org/~sk/cgi-bin/book/book.cgi

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

Stefan
