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

regards,
Randy Kramer
