--- Comment #7 from Volker Haas <[email protected]> 2011-08-29 12:11:47 UTC --- I guess this ticket needs further clarification... If I understand correctly this hold ticket is only about zim files produced with the collection extension [1]. Therefore I won't do anything for PDFs. Regarding the time stamps in the zim files: the zim files contain a timestamp of the export date of the zim file. Is this sufficient? Or do you want individual time stamps for each article? If so, should they be displayed below the article text? [1] Let me clarify one thing about the "architecture: The Collection Extension indeed does *not* create zim files or PDFs. It allows the user to collect wikipedia (mediawiki) articles. This article collection can then be saved for example (e.g. [2]). The collection extension also knows (through its config) about the different export options (PDF, zim, odf...) *and* the render server which does the actual work of rendering. The render server is (strictly speaking) part of the mwlib module [3]. That component parses the MediaWiki text and exports it using submodules mwlib.rl (rl=reportlab=PDF) or mwlib.zim. => The collection Extension does not render anything, but it's ok if anybody except the PediaPress developers do *not* make this distinction and talk about the Collection extension exporting zim files. (The only danger is that other devs, maybe like Roan above, can't find anything related to zim files in the Collection Extension code and therefore think that it can't produce zim files - which is correct or not, depending on the viewpoint ;)) tl;dr The Collection Extension happily produces PDFs, zim files etc.!
