Wiki Download (Export)

(1/2) > >>

gasdeveloper:
I am hoping that someone in charge of the wiki can help out here. Soon I will be traveling a lot, and will be working on software while I am unable to access the internet. The Wiki is such a great reference which i use all the time. I would hate to not have it with me.

Is it possible to make an export of the wiki, available for download? I don't know about anyone else but I think it would be a great option. Other services like Wikipedia, StackExchange Network, and some others offer this.

Thanks,

I have already downloaded Wikipedia, they offer an export via kiwix.org, I am asking if FreePascal can make an export available of http://wiki.freepascal.org/

Otherwise I would be reduced to Scraping the pages to make them available for offline viewing. Which is sub optimal, and generates a lot of fake traffic, which could impact usage and speed of the wiki.

Thanks,

I have no idea if this will work but...

There is a page to export wikimedia pages (powered by mediawiki) to xml by visiting:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Special:Export

No idea if you can use wildcards but you could paste in a list of pages you want.
And maybe you can retrieve that list via
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Special:SpecialPages
(see the special pages link in the tools section at the lower left)
