Chris Wilson commented on COUCHDB-906:
--------------------------------------
Hi all,
I don't want to divert a lot of effort into creating downloadable docs, if
that's what it would take.
The downloadable RTD docs were either not available when I made this request,
or so hard to find that I didn't find them despite hours of searching. That's
all I want: to know that when I start using a new and complex piece of
software, that I actually find and download the downloadable reference
materials. Links to RTD are absolutely fine for me, *as long as* they're easy
to find.
My PR doesn't add any words to the front page (in fact it reduces them from 24
to 20) but at the same time makes the words much more usable, and makes it
extremely clear where to find the docs that are already offered by RTD. This is
a simple and powerful solution for me, and all that I ask.
Cheers, Chris.

> I mainly work on the train or in airports without Internet access, so I need
> offline documentation.
> I tried to wget -r the couchdb wiki but I hit some kind of flood protection.
> Apparently MoinMoin can sync between two instances if xmlrpc is enabled. It
> seems to be enabled but broken in the CouchDB wiki.
> Please could you put the wiki pages into hg or git and offer a read-only
> clone or a downloadable tarball of the html versions of the pages?
> Cheers, Chris.
