Just generating a static version from the wiki often doesnt suffice, a wiki is at best structured for browsing, often rather unstructured (ok the cinelerra wiki get this right) I showed how to solve this on my wiki with a few simple steps: - Create a 'hardcopy' page which includes other (less structured) wiki pages in a well intended manner. - use the wiki's print-view and htmltops (or some similar tool) to generate a static version which is useable for printing. so how does that look like in real (just a example, not complecte content): The 'hardcopy' page in raw syntax: http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Cinelerra/Print?action=raw Print-View: http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Cinelerra/Print?action=print and a example PDF generated from that could look like: http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Cinelerra/Developers?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=text.pdf there are still some problems, and I use a moin-wiki not a twiki, but twiki has similar features and the bugs left, formatting glitches can easily be fixed by some sed-script hooked into the process. Idea behind would be to generate the static version occationally and check that into the source tree. The scripts doing this should be part of the distribution too. (a static html version with wget or a mirror tool is also easy) > I think that if I get the server to be faster, it will solve a lot of > issues. the main one being to attract more people to contribute material > to the wiki. I agree and using a wiki is the simpliest way to attract people. If we agree on a workflow like I sketched above, it would be nice to feed 'Secrets of Cinelerra' into the wiki.
