Books (Collections is the formal software name, Books is the more User-friendly feature name) allows you to export any content you want from the wiki into formats more suitable for offline reading, sharing, printing etc.
Books is a feature of this wiki, added by [[mw:Extension:Collection]] which in turn relies on a host of other goodies such as Python's [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools setuptools], [http://pythonware.com/products/pil/ Imaging Library]<ref>sudo yum install python-imaging or sudo apt-get install python-imaging should do the trick, but make sure you have a proper python</ref>, and a whole render server which is supplied by PediaPress. Because of the Python dependencies, you should make sure you have a proper Python, which at the time of this writing <ref>~~~~</ref> means 2.6 or 2.7 (maybe later a 3.x version?)
