I think it's time for a meta-post in which gwern discusses summarizing articles and gives advice.

http://lesswrong.com/lw/5me/scholarship_how_to_do_it_efficiently/ is pretty good, IMO.

That's advice for the skimming/reading/intensive study of 1,000 papers to get their knowledge, balancing completeness, depth, breadth, and the like.

I want advice on summarizing 100 individual articles, each one fairly completely read, so that many other people can do that and share the results with each other. The thing you do best, rather than the thing lukeprog does best.

Hm. I dunno then. I read, excerpt the interesting bits, and paste them into a file. Is there anything else to explain?
