MediaWiki, alas, "ships" with a blank Help namespace. I'm hoping, myself, that we can at some point start shipping with content; alas, most of it needs to be rewritten and released under the GPL or a compatible license, so that it can be included with the software.
I'm working on that, when I have time - which is not a lot. You might have noticed the newer, cleaner FAQ at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ.
Anyone else want to give a hand sorting out some documentation? Ought we to get a few people from the main projects involved writing it, perhaps?

Hi, I am running MediaWiki on an isolated intranet, I would like to have documentation for the users&adimistrators available on the same network.
I searched the net(google) for downloadable documentation, All I found was a reference on this list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-December/002584.html A person with a similar problem a year ago, which did not get any replies.
I tried downloading all the documentation using wget, but even after solving some technical limitations(setting a friendly wait, and altering the user agent string) I still found I was downloading a lot of junk(as far as I am concerned) and that after downloading, the files I get are not very clear, as they have very different style to them.
Is there a downloadable user's manual of some sort? Is there a simple way of mirroring the online documentation?
thanx in advance, Meir. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
