- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
In a recent survey among Wikipedia readers, a large percentage of respondents expressed their interest in using Wikipedia offline (41%) and export articles to PDF (40%). Technically, this functionality is already provided by the collection extension, but obviously many users do not know about this feature and do not use it.
Maybe we need to fundamentally question our assumptions on the way the collection extension currently works and come up with something that is significantly easier to use. This naturally entails changes in labeling, functionality and placement of the collection extension in mediawiki.
In a short presentation I want to show the current status of the new collection extension and talk about perspectives for future developments.
