I'm just wondering if anyone knows about when this will be ready for use on Wikipedia?

Mañana

Mañana? Google translate says that means "morning" in spanish. If that is true what do you mean by "morning"?

Steelpillow (talkcontribs)

"Mañana" is a traditional reply when meaning to imply "I have no idea but probably not for a long time, if ever."

Depends on whether you mean the book-to-PDF function or the single-page PDF renderer, @ARZ100. The book renderer? Depends entirely on the volunteer developers who took over. The Foundation looked at number of daily downloads and pretty much decided that it couldn't defend assigning the resources necessary at the expense of other projects when the solution for single-page PDFs didn't work, which meant that PediaPress took over, and they're handling it in their spare time. The single-page PDF renderer? That's a different thing.

@ARZ100, honestly, I have told you nothing of substance. But are you interested in the single-page PDF renderer (that is, just for one article) or the books-to-PDF renderer (that is, when you take more articles and put them together and then make a PDF out of them)?

@Johan (WMF) I am not @ARZ100, but I will say that I am exclusively interested in the books-to-PDF renderer. I've assumed watchlisting Reading/Web/PDF Functionality would be the best way to get updates on that. Am I right about that?

ARZ100 (talkcontribs)

@Johan (WMF) you have answered my question. I don't need any more information.
