Hi all,
Our research project has published the bulk its documentation on a wiki and would like to distribute this information for archival purposes on CD without losing internal images, links, etc.
Has anyone has attempted to run a wiki off of this type of removable media, especially for various platforms (PC, Mac, and Unix)? It seems as if this is similar to the "wiki on a stick" concept and could possibly work.
Any advice is regarding this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ariel Richmond-Parks

I would suggest to use a webserver, which runs from CD.
For this, i used WOS: http://www.wos.chsoftware.net/
Its a complete local mini-server incl. php and MySQL. There you can import your own wiki.

You could use the dumpHTML script (maintenance/dumpHTML.php) to create a set of (static) HTML pages mirroring your current contents. A "dirty" alternative would be using HTTrack to download the entire website.
Search the list archives, this has been discussed a couple of times already.

The easiest thing would be to migrate the wiki from Mediawiki to TiddlyWiki:
www.tiddlywiki.com can unplug mediawiki wikis:
Examples here:

and

While I'm a *huge* fan of TiddlyWiki, I have to advise caution here: TiddlyWiki is a single, JavaScript-enabled HTML file, which also contains all contents. Due to this single-file approach, there are limits to how much content should be put into a single TiddlyWiki file. TiddlyWikis are measured in KB (there is no fixed max. size, but anything above a couple of MB will probably cause problems). MediaWiki wikis, in contrast, are usually measured in tens or hundreds of MB - way beyond what TiddlyWiki can or should handle.

Seconded. TiddlyWiki is not the right solution for any large project like that.
I second the dumpHTML solution. Nothing dynamic to go wrong...
BioIE Wiki statistics
There are *1,606* total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about BioIE Wiki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are *54*pages that are probably legitimate content pages.
Do we know how large the wiki is? Paul Y
