I agree with mendaliv, but you would need an overall admin/editor to enforce the limit (e.g., K will write a separate 20 page essay on each time he was blocked and each time he was outvoted at WikiProject:United States.) (Sorry for the cheap shot -- we all really love you.)
If we can get an expression of interest by the end of this month, we can do pre-sales at Wikimania. About a decade ago, when Wikimania came to Washington DC, there was a group preparing a
highly critical documentary about WP, and they were actively soliciting at Wikimania. They got a favorable reception because people were too slow to realize that they were not "of the body." I don't think the film was every completed.
Of course with online e-books, we can complete a professionally-looking book and sell it with very little upfront investment. All profits can be donated to the "FREE LAURA AND MARIA FUND" (a.k.a. try a trip on something other than WMF expense.)
