Do we have a tool to convert such pdf to mediawiki? I found a good one
to convert to html5 but all my attemps to get mediawiki turns out to be
very manual... If we can get the original odf/swx, that will be nice to
try with our internal mediawiki export.

Also, are we allowed to upload this document and edit it in a wiki? It
is under Public document License and by section 2 of PDL, it looks like
we can... but IANAL.
