Zeal for Fabrik

I would love to have Fabrik documentation in this form. So much bandwidth and time lost looking subjects up on the web.
If our Dear Leader(s) would like this done, then I am prepared to try and produce it. Howto here: https://kapeli.com/docsets
I'd just need a tar in one of the formats below:

At the same time, the tutorial videos might get update by volunteers, provided we pseudo code the procedures to follow. I suppose a sample database already exists?

Any takers?

 
The issue here is that its not just providing a tar. It would require a system to be put in place which deals with syncing updates from the wiki to the zeal browser.
The only possible way we would have would be to export the wiki db as html docs, and then that would involve passing the bbcode in it, and inserting images etc. So really its a fair amount of work for something (off-line documentation browsing) that I'm not sure a lot of people are asking for.

You might simply look at using a scraper to crawl the wiki and get the information that way?

Another project might be to covert the wiki docs int Sphinx rst files (using something like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/html2rest).
In the long run getting the docs into an rst format might be a better idea, as then we can transpose those files to html/zeal etc.

Of note, although they aren't 100% up to date, we have php docs generated from the source code comments:

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
