See also this unfunded grant proposal [1]. This is just for offline reading
capability.

If you want to level up, you could create a way to have multiple (remote)
clones of a wiki that are edited offline and later synchronized with the
"master wiki". This was discussed at Semantic MediaWiki Conference Fall
2014 [2]. This was also discussed at the 2015 Wikimedia Hackathon [3].

If you end up doing some work on any of this, please let me know as NASA
Flight Operations would love to make use of these features.
