 * 2) Used Google Docs function "Download As" - to save a version in Open Office
 * 3) Clicked on the new doc (*.ods) to open the document in Open Office
 * 4) Went to File Menu--> Export --> Mediawiki, to open the document in Mediawiki format (the OO program creates the file in the background, while the original OO program is open)

 * 9) Availability promoted to the Community Media discussion group
