In general I tend to wikify the OP for “howtos” and such that need a better “crowd sourced” OP. I think its a valid way of making this happen.

There are some interesting algorithms for automated summarizations and some open source tools that do it eg: [http://www.summarization.com/mead/](http://www.summarization.com/mead/) long term this may be worth exploring.
