Will the db be available for offline?
Will the file-database be available for offline use? like it is for the other mediaWiki projects? (since i have a great difficulty in connecting the internet, I keep the WikiBooks and Wikictionary on my local machine.... it is a godsend).

I personally favor the GNU Documentation license: it means intercopyability (my latest word) with Wikipedia.
Cool. I was looking through a couple of articles. Maybe a note to all future contributers, please write as professionally as possible as it sounds weird writing those as a story. Quoted from one of the articles titled "How to get mails from outlook to apple mail"
great stuff. however, why is everything with the "i" name using a capital I? ITunes, IPod, IBook... it's kinda annoying having had the proper name/way of writing it drilled into our heads for SO long and then its written like this here.
is this a limitation of the Wiki where no title can start with a lowercase letter?

Detailed specifications are already compiled in mactracker.ca. I wonder if there would be a way you could associate with each other. I would go about contacting the maker of that software but I know nothing about licensing nor were to put it in the Guides.
O.T. what happened to the "please enter the text for the URL" dialogue box? When I clicked to make a URL it only asked for the URL itself and made it the text and the link.

I'm not doing that
I only made a template and tested it out on one page. Personally, I don't really belive it's neccessary, since the real name is mentioned elsewhere on the page.
Question:
Would it be considered "wrong" if I were to copy and paste stuff from Wikipedia into the MR guide? Some of these articles need a lot of filling up.

What's a fart bear? or does pedo mean something else in another language besides Spanish?
Yay for the Wiki. Now I won't have to clog the forums with my asinine mac questions. (just the normal ones as as seen above
)

We're probably going to use the same licensing which means probably would be ok to use some data... but in general I'd frown upon mass copying. Wiki does have good treatments on several broad related topics, but I think our angle on it is a little different, and the world doesn't need another wikipedia mirror.

You've done an absolutely fantastic job of integrating vB and MediaWiki, Arn
I think this is a great idea - and I think I'm addicted already
