[edit] Generating PDFs

After a major refactoring this Extension is now really easy to install. It is configured by default to use the server http://tools.pediapress.com to generate PDFs. Therefore (low traffic) sites don't need to install their own PDF Server anymore.


Simply install and configure the Collection extension using the default value http://tools.pediapress.com/cgi-bin/pdf-server.py for $wgPDFServer (see README.txt of the Collection Extension for instructions).

No installation of Python, ReportLab, mwlib etc. required!

[edit] Documentation & Support

Further information can be found at code.pediapress.com

There is also a google group for support and discussion of mwlib, mwlib.rl and the Collection extension.
