When SourceForge.net announced that they would be providing wikis as part of their service I was very happy about this. One of our requirements is the ability to pull the documents managed in the wiki out in some format that can be either used directly to produce documentation (HTML, PDF, DocBook XML...) or converted with available tools into these formats. Looking around both the SourceForge wiki documentation and your web site I was not able to find any information about how to do this. When I opened a support request on SourceForge.net to ask about this I received the following reply: Date: 2007-06-13 13:22 Sender: burleySourceForge.net SubscriberSourceForge.net Site Admin Logged In: YES user_id=597273 Originator: NO Greetings, If its not present in the wiki documentation, then it doesn't exist. Thank you, David Burley Quality of Service Analyst, SourceForge.net It seems to me that this can't possibly be correct. After all one of the main reasons programming projects like ours have a wiki is to manage documentation. And how useful is a wiki that does not support getting that documentation back out in a useful format? Answer - not very useful.
