Whilst this is very good news, on my limited sampling it's not something I'd be sucking into the Wikipedia using a conversion script.
The first article I examined was one about W.G. Grace (19th century English cricketer who revolutionised the game). Only the first paragraph of what appears to be a much longer article is there, and it is laden with typos - some probably from the scanning process, others from the original.
Still, it's an outstanding resource and I look forward to incorporating a lot of material from it.
