Even if we don't find a block of time, we can do something like
announce a "contest", ask people to do something in their spare time,
and find some way to get them a raffle ticket if they submit a patch
with a conversion.  Then hold an extra prize drawing during the
closing session, with just those raffle tickets, and give someone a
nice award for contributing.  Of course, there's always the adage that
you should be careful what you measure and reward...  We don't want a
flood of crappy conversions, with a time constraint on the review.
I'll think some more about this.  An alternative would be to have a
contest announced ahead of the event, with enough time for people to
submit and get reviewed.

By the way - I presume the new docs will replace the existing ones,
but I could imagine wanting to have them live side-by-side
temporarily.  Any thoughts on this?  Will file name or location
changes be allowed during the conversion?
