The basic idea is great. If your Arch box won't get online for whatever reason, this is invaluable. At other times it's simply handy. However, its offline copy of the wiki a good deal out of date, especially with the new Arch install images. The interface could also use some work. I'd like to see not only more intelligent search, but also the ability to see a tree-style layout of the wiki. Also, links between articles go to the online copy of the wiki, not the offline one as should be the case.

This is a great app and useful when you don't have access to the Internet. But it loses the purpose if it's not updated more frequently (at least every 2-3 months would be good). Please, don't abandon this, it is/was a great idea.

Great concept but it's very out of date. Either needs to have frequent updates or the functionality to download a new copy of the wiki while online for later use...

AMAZING IDEA!!! Really early alpha... It still needs lots of attention to detail. Some regex parsing to clean page, better search, larger font, img removal, wiki links working, etc...

Awesome! Thank you so much for this! I've been testing it and I think it's great! And I know it's not important, but what I really don't like is the icon, hehe! I hope with time you'll improve it, but as I said, it's not that important! Anyway, great idea. And I like you included articles in other languages, though I mostly read in english. :)
