Re: Fwd: Query about offline viewing of this wiki

Hi,

Good day! I would like to know if you can help me. On wikipedia, anyone can download the entire site in a compressed format that can be uncompressed indexed and viewable on the fly. I am wondering if your site has that capability as well.

I can resend you my original email but I thought it best to let you read the full conversation below.

As far as I know the MoinMoin Wiki software indeed does not provide a
full offline download functionality. If you find this functionality
important, you may want to submit a feature request at the upstream
Wiki software development repo at https://github.com/moinwiki/moin .

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Hi,

The Community Team is here to make Debian a welcoming place and also to
resolve occasional conflicts and disagreement within the project itself.
We're also happy to resolve queries but I think this one is probably

one for the web team https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Webmaster <https:// wiki.debian.org/Teams/Webmaster>

I don't think there is a compressed archive of the Debian wiki - it's
changing fairly regularly but the web team should be able to advise.

There is documentation for each Debian package - usually in /usr/share/
[packagename] - but there's also the Debian web site.

The Debian wiki is built on moinmoin - you may need some elements of
that framework to display it well.

In the hope that this is useful.

With every good wish, as ever,
