Output from wc (the English versions):

     348    1294   11532 articles/diskless-x/article.sgml
     464    1967   16226 articles/formatting-media/article.sgml
     682    3721   26685 articles/multi-os/article.sgml
     704    4250   31044 articles/mh/article.sgml
     943    4252   35842 articles/new-users/article.sgml
     951    3433   32268 articles/fonts/article.sgml
    1115    5510   44881 articles/committers-guide/article.sgml
    1835    9173   73534 articles/programming-tools/article.sgml
    5998   23477  213806 books/fdp-primer/[*/]*.sgml
    8332   39723  322113 books/faq/book.sgml
   47454  179325 1712412 books/handbook/[*/]*.sgml

As you can see, the smallest book is nearly 6000 lines, whereas the
committers guide is only about 1100 lines.  So, the CG would have to
expand to about 5 times its current size before it would be eligible
for "book status".  :)

Nik, does 5000 lines sound like a good cutoff point for decisions in
the future about whether things should be a book or article?
