I'm wary of having multiple copies of this lying around, since at some
point they're going to get out of sync.
Things like the bylaws should be in exactly one place. If alternate
formats are desired, they should be automatically generated from the
source and guaranteed to always match the original exactly.
However, if the complaint was just that folks don't want it as a PDF we
ought to be able to make the canonical version HTML and just throw away
the PDF to keep things simple. I assume this was a wordprocessor
document at some point, so it should be trivial for whoever holds that
copy to export it to HTML.
This really isn't the sort of thing that belongs on a wiki.
