Hello! I have been this course telling professors that they could download what their students did in a book format -"but not yet, soon"-... so I would like to know if there is any time scheduled for this feature. Thanks!

PediaPress is investigating. We thought that December was realistic, but now it's May because plan A didn't work (as sometimes happen in software development), so ... we'll let you know as soon as possible.
you can already download wiki data in various book and ebook format with mediawiki2latex http://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/
Indeed, I can download individual articles. But this MediaWiki2Latex doesn't download bunch of articles as books, isn't it?
You can also use it with collections. The command line option --bookmode or -k is handy in this case. But you will have to install ubuntu and the mediawiki2latex package on your computer. Theoretically you could select Template expansion = "Bookmode" in the web interface. But the computational resources on the underlying server are not large enough to handle collections of more the a few articles. The command line version in the ubuntu package repository does not have such limitations.
