[OLPC library] Fwd: Importing .doc files into the wiki

[Samuel Klein]

Hello Drew,

This is a fine list to post to.

How big is it?  You should be able to select all and paste that into
the edit box for a new page.

If it is larger than 20-30k, you probably want to make it into a few
wiki pages anyway, to keep rendering fast.

(who notes that we may want to expand the use of preloader templates
for new page creation; as is done for activity summaries at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creating_an_Activity )
