Just a quick peep on the issue of further reading etc.
I really don't like that books link to "Here's where you can buy this".
At all.
Also, the ISBNs expire, which I didn't know. I was poking around, and
have been linking to the library of congress. That gives you all the
information you could dream of for a book, and should be fairly stable.

I really like the idea of annotated bibliographies. It's perfectly
complementary to the mission of an encyclopedia or compendium of general
knowledge.
There is no question in mind that we will want to find a good, standard way
to construct "further reading" and such-like sections. We may or may not
want to use Wikipedia's own ISBN system (which see), but anyway, I'm glad
some people are thinking about this systematically, because I don't have
time right now, myself. I hope someone is taking notes for me (and the rest
of us). :-)
