Just so it doesn't get lost as we look at the details (which is important
work, of course) -- I want to jump up and cheer! This is a really good
resource, as good and in some respects better than the outreach materials we
developed as part of the original Booshelf project:
http://bookshelf.wikimedia.org

Through the magic of our IRC chat channel, I've been able to see how
incredibly quickly you put this together, Laura -- and having worked on
similar materials, I'm super impressed. It's not easy work, but it's very
valuable. I hope to see more of this stuff coming out of your work in the
Australian sports world.

But could things be downcased unless there's a good reason not to? See en.WP 
Manual of Style and most other authorities. Ta.

One thing I'd do... our "acronym soup" can be enormously confusing.  I have a 
tendency to write " enwp.org/WP:BLP ", for instance, but an outsider might need 
to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_Living_Persons - 
it's easier for the mind to parse.



I shortened the URLs mostly because this was intended as a print resource.  The 
fewer the letters, the less likely people are to get frustrated with typing. :)
