Nice idea - but maybe we should compress things further? I've read most of the sequences, but think/hope they could be condensed to about 10-20 pages with the core messages, in such a way that would be more accessible outside these realms.

I guess the idea is to find 20 articles that provide both ideas and arguments out of those that already exist. After there is some solution, it becomes easier to write those 20 pages than when starting from scratch. Obviously, 20 paper pages you mention have yet to be written - and "20 best articles for isolated reading" may be written already.
