* By reading (loading) the master page, you can read that
entire document in serial order.
Yes, the pages should be downloadable for offline reading.
But the format of the wiki pages need not be tied to that.
Check out how
http://wiki.beyondunreal.com
has done it. (I don't know how they technically do it.)
For a good reason they disallow the download of the entire
site, but they wisely provide the whole site in one package.
More sites should do the same.

Thanks for writing and the suggestion! (And thanks for noticing the
thread!) A few points "for the record":
* yes, *I think* my approach will let everything on that single page
be downloadable (actually, I'd need to test that), but recognize that
the entire HOWTO will not be on that page -- to start with, at least the
pages on individual sound cards will be separate (standalone) pages
* TWiki is working on a (special) way(s?) to download content for
offline reading (and maybe even offline updating), not sure of the
status
* "spidering" the entire WikiLearn web would be an especially bad
idea (imho) -- iirc, there are already between 1000 and 2000 pages
there, and that's without the 30 or so I'm guessing might come from the
LAQHT

Interesting question. It doesn't seem to be a feature
of UseModWiki afaict.
So most likely they do exactly what they tell people not to do :-)
They'd just use a wget script or something similar, run it
once a day in the wee hours. Adding the link to live wiki at bottom of
each page again could be done with a trivial bit of scripting.
