Hi Pratik, Yes, I am considering that wiki-text changes continuously. The tool I am currently working on or rather say testing consists the highlighting part only. Exporting can be done using a wikipedia profile system and showing the topic by topic highlighted points all at one place.
By "Making notes" I meant, making underlined/highlighted (important points) notes in a similar way just like we do on out text-books. Because most of students are accustomed to that practice of underlining/highlighting the important points on their notebooks, it becomes difficult and uncomfortable for them to read form wikipedia while feeling the same. hence it will help them feel the same way as they do whle reading hard copies of the noebooks/text-books.
