Hello. Perhaps Mediawiki needs some new feature afterall:

How do I download all the document pages with the external-editing
feature? And anonymously. With CVS I just do "cvs -z3 -d *** co module"
and I do get all of the latest version. Simple.

How do I download the complete history of the wiki document? With
SourceForge I may rsync the CVS root and get the complete history
of the sources. Simple.

Ability to download all the source-data of a wiki document is important
if I want fork and create my own version of a GNU or Creative Commons
licensed document. Downloading the document with wget does not work.
I'm not after a complete history but the history would be useful
for tracking who made the changes -- who deserves the credits.
