You can use http://WikiEducator.org/Special:Export to export the pages of interest (especially easy if you are interested in a particular category). The administrator of the other wiki can then import that XML using the Special:Import page. Unfortunately that does not pull image/file data (which would require additional scripting). Jim P.S. Other ideas: 1. You could script something to pull the pages and their images, similar to the way I build the offline manual for eXe. http://exe.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=exe/exe;a=blob;f=tools/getManual.py;h=a24bbe73049dcdf628c61749dd471cdbe13b1d72;hb=HEAD Given the MediaWiki API, you could script something that pulled wikitext (and even images/files) from one and wrote them into the other (significantly simplified if you didn't need to maintain history or worry about "merging" changes). 2. We can export into LMS package formats, so the content (including images) can be displayed in Moodle rather than a wiki. 3. We may have the ability to export Collections/Books in ePUB format in the next few months. 4. I think it could be interesting to see ZIM files for subsets of WikiEducator. http://www.openzim.org/Main_Page I'd love to work on the concept of "federating" wikis that were not permanently connected, but there are a lot of edge cases to consider. Going one direction (via export and import) is workable today. This is a topic I find extremely interesting, but which could quickly get out of scope for this list. I encourage you to join the wikieducator-tech mailing list if there is something here that sounds worth collaborating on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
