[Web4lib] The Wikipedia Gotcha -- the student perspective

[Engel, Ryan]

Have you looked at using CSS and/or RSS to automate the conversion from
wiki to paper format?  I've not done it myself, but it seems
technologically possible (depending on the wiki platform you used).

I'm finishing up a group assignment this week with three other 
classmates. A wiki had been set up for purposes of collaboration on the 
group project, but the result is still required to be in the usual term 
paper format. We had already written the "paper" on the wiki, so for 
each of us to cut and paste it into a Word document is needless extra 
work, in my biased personal opinion. And just for the record, I am not a

member of the "younger generation" by a long shot.
