The jury for the WTC Site Memorial wants all 5,201 entries to be displayed before the 8 finalists are announced. The Times' David Dunlap notes the logistical challenge:
Hung side by side, with no space between them, the 30-inch-wide competition panels would stretch nearly two and a half miles, roughly the distance from the trade center site to Union Square. Were the 40-inch-high panels set top to bottom (admittedly, not a conventional exhibition arrangement), they would rise to the height of nearly 14 Empire State Buildings.To put a 5,201-object show in context, "El Greco" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has 71 works and "Matisse Picasso" at the Museum of Modern Art in Queens earlier this year numbered about 200.
The Times' Clyde Haberman also looks at 10048 - the WTC's own zip code which has not been used since September 2001 but remains active.

So they should make 'em all available on the web.
Not universal access admittedly, but at least it could be complete. Plus I am sure all those bloggers out there with too much free time to cull through it and link to the juicy goodness contained therein, saving us mortals a lot of time looking at drek.
I'm with the previous poster. How hard would it be to take the same graphics from the web and put it on a large monitor or projection screen and run a random slideshow in a public space?
I think having the entries online is a great idea, but I guess the jury wants people to understand how they had to judge by seeing the actual things they were judging.
