Actually it's a sign of the way things are going! There are lots of people in digital engagement jobs who are themselves quite signed up to the idea of open knowledge, aided by bodies like JISC and Europeana which insist on / encourage various levels of openness. So often I think we end up talking to people whose institutions are cautious about losing the NC bit of CC-BY-NC, and we can help them win their internal arguments within those institutions by proving that if they release material on CC-BY-SA there will be high-impact uses of it...

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] anyone with super powers?
It's not easy I'm afraid - I've run it through a couple of automatic converters, but the PDF format is horrible such that each individual letter is made up of more than one graph bit, where as a proper pdf would be each letter is only one graphic. Unless someone else has some elite super powers, it looks like it'll need a manual re-create if you can't find the original... You could try http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/pdfimport to see if that will import it - there's no harm in trying, and I imagine if that was made using OpenOffice you might have a bit more luck using that. I don't have OpenOffice so I haven't tried that.
