Thanks; you also need to add a clear copyright notice to the site itself. In the absence of clear notice, the content of the site is by default fully copyrighted, and using GFDL content there would be a violation. I know this legal stuff is a real nuisance--I'd just as soon it was all repealed. But while it's still the law of the land, you do have to pay attention to the little details.

Rosa's project specifically says that any materials to be posted on her site must be in the public domain, so unless she changes that she won't be able to use anything from Wikipedia (except for stuff she can get independently from authors like me who release their work to the public domain as well as putting it here).
Hm - checking back, I did say that. I was, of course, thinking of sources other than FDL-released sources, I'll amend it to say "public domain or otherwise legally available for GNU FDL release". Thanks for pointing
that
wrinkle out.
