Will do it when I have the time, or someone who is interested can do so in the meantime.

You had time to write over 30 thousand words, and no time to fix the formatting so that it can be read?

someone who is interested can do so in the meantime.

I predict that this will not happen.

I'm guessing he only created a LW wiki article as an afterthought. Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If we punish people for making imperfect contributions we likely won't get any contributions at all.

I wrote over 30000 words for myself when I was reading and summarizing it. I then shared my notes with friends who were aspiring rationalists but didn't have time to read the book. They were blown away by my notes, and strongly encouraged me to share them publicly with the LW community.

This is what I did with the LW Wiki article, taking the time to upload my notes, format them, and reformat them based on requests. To answer your point below, the article appears to me to right now be mostly bullet points and short paragraphs. I'm using Firefox, don't know about how it comes out on other browsers.

I see more bullet points and short paragraphs now (in both Safari and Firefox), but after "Longer summary" it reverts to a wall-o-text per chapter.

Yup, wall of text per chapter. Don't have time to spend more on editing it now :-)
