[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] 2013-14 Annual Plan of the Wikimedia Foundation

[Craig Franklin]

As SJ and John have pointed out, there are many good reasons to wikify
documents like this, not in the least to allow deep linking, and make
reading more convenient on mediums that don't play nicely with PDF (like
smartphones).  So long as the wikified version is protected so as to
maintain its integrity, I don't think there'll be any serious problems.

Cheers,
Craig
