Install 'itsalltext' extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125 - This extension adds a button that lets you open the contents of an HTML edit window (a TEXTAREA) in your favorite editor. - Saves happen to a temporary file and update the wiki edit window in Firefox 2. Pick some chapters you are going to work on. 3. Email the list/alert IRC that you are putting a few hour 'lock' on those files, so no one else edits them - There is a warning put up when you edit a file in the wiki, but the lock may expire before you return 4. Load the pages and edit them, then use the Edit button from It's All Text! to load the pages for offline editing. - You cannot preview changes while offline 5. Later versions of It's All Text! support keeping the same temporary filename for the same original URL. This means when you return to be online, even if you have to reload and re-edit the original page, you should be able to save within your editor, and the edit window in Firefox updates. - If this does not work, yes, you still have manual cut and paste Now that I write it all out, it sounds hokey and hacky and stupid, but it does work. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
