I'm not sure about the "__ in One Lesson" posts — I think it would be a good project to complete the sequence indexes that don't already have post summaries, but the sequences themselves are pretty information-dense; how would you condense them without losing a lot of their value?
Would they be targeted at people who have already read the full sequence and want a refresher/index, or at people who haven't read them yet, as an introduction?
It would indeed be hard to compress those sequences - and impossible for other sequences, such as those on meta-ethics and quantum physics. But I think it could be done. Some information would have to be lost, but that is okay: it's still there in the original sequence.
The goal would be to lower the barrier of entrance to Less Wrong. Right now the entrance exam is, "Go read the sequences," which is a command to read more words than are in Lord of the Rings. That's insane. We need a better way to welcome newbies into the site.
