Work started on this project aiming to replace the back-end renderer for the Collection extension (mwlib). This is the renderer that creates the PDFs for the 'Download to PDF' sidebar link and creates books (downloadable in multipe formats and printable via PediaPress), using Special:Book. One of the goals is to take advantage of Parsoid to do the parsing from wikitext. The team worked on the new parser, the 'Collection Offline Content Generator'. The team will continue to work on this project over the coming weeks. Read more in the mailing list thread.
