The PediaPress technology is now running in all Wikibooks languages. We have also gone ahead and enabled ODT support, so you can export collections to edit them in a word processor.
The help is currently available in English and German:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Collections http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hilfe:Sammlungen
Help with translating it is appreciated; I've also posted a notice to translators-l to this effect.
I've created an English example collection: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Eloquence/Collections/Blended_Learning
To get a PDF, ODT or to order a printed copy of that demo, go here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Collection/load_collection/?colltitle=U...
To report bugs, please visit: http://code.pediapress.com/
create an account, and create a "new ticket". The PP team is very responsive & helpful. :-)
Known issues:
* Licensing info isn't perfect. This is a tricky one because proper attribution of collaborative works is generally non-trivial, but we're working together on improving it. * There are non-internationalizable strings in the PDF output. The PediaPress team is working with translatewiki.net to sort this out. * ODT support is still experimental, so please give lots of feedback on brokenness.
yayyyyyyyyyyy!
I'm sure I will have something more constructive once I have some time to try this out on production wikis.

I just tested it, it is really really really cool. I am glad this project is now live.
