I'm referring to a collection of introductory articles covering a wide range of concepts/objects/people, etc. Deep introductions to a subject are great, but to me they're not encyclopedic as they're not really introductory.
Do you disagree about the purpose of an encyclopedia? There's clearly space with web media to include more comprehensive articles, but IMO this should be _as well_.
It's kinda the "if I had more time I'd have written more briefly" concept writ large (at web scale, if you will).
