Greyscale Press annouces the publication of VJing – by 375 Wikipedians, a paperback reader that reproduces faithfully the article VJing from Wikipedia.org (based upon the revision of July 25th 2010).
This book is the physical outcome of a collective writing workshop that was held in Geneva between May 6th-13th 2010. Taking place in the context of Mapping Festival, an event dedicated to live audiovisual performance art, this writing-sprint gathered a small but dedicated team of contributors who spent seven days discussing, expanding, translating and improving the Wikipedia article dedicated to the artistic practice of VJing.

You can also preview the book on Google Books, and of course read the most up-to-date version of the original article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VJing
An interview about the process of the Wiki-Sprint has been published by the Institute of Network Cultures: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/cpov/2010/06/29/manuel-schmalstieg-and-the-wiki-sprint/
