Could work. My intuition is that there would be no good way to integrate the list of summaries into the UI, and almost nobody would want to read the list of summaries. The work of writing summaries seems analogous to the work of editing Wikipedia, so perhaps the UI for viewing and writing summaries could be similar to Wikipedia talk pages.
Mmm, that might work when everybody understands what’s written, but when most people don’t get it, it won’t help to have 10 bad summaries all voted on.
How about all posts have a summary box where anyone can write it and then the most upvoted summary gets shown.
