You might want to send it to me by mail, I will send you my postal address by private mail (the ML in CC has public archives).
Yes, please.
Do you know http://sourceforge.net/projects/wanda-tools/ (another italian project to produce a DVD)?
I think I have heard from it, but I will look into it. What is your opinion about it? Why you don't use it?
Well, the DVD they produced was quite good while compared to other DVD whic were available in 2007. For example, they resolved the problem of categories simply by creating huge pages containing up to 25.000 elements. But: the wikitext to html conversion, if I remember correctly, is not great, so you can find an infobox on the left instead of right; the search engine frequently fails; many pages are lost because each (html) page is stored in a directory by alphabetic order and titles are converted to lowercase, so if you have two articles, "ADA" and "Ada", the latter vanishes, and also other pages are lost, we don't know why (e.g. ADZ). Then the DVD development was taken on by EXA (the publisher), and wanda was discontinued. However, this is the last release: http://linux.studenti.polito.it/linuxstudenti/wikidvd_0.23-09Oct2007.iso.bz2 http://linux.studenti.polito.it/linuxstudenti/wikidvd_0.23-09Oct2007.iso.bz2...
The EXA DVD has other categories, search, layout and database problems (and many others), and they're not able to resolve them (nor to develop software for Linux): I suppose html format is not the right way.
