PediaPress

Today I discovered you can have books made of Wikipedia articles using an extension they have, and have them printed using a wonderful-looking site called PediaPress. The PediaPress site explains how to make a book of any wiki running MediaWiki, which the Arch wiki does.

edit:
I've done some reading of the PediaPress site and it looks like only Wikimedia gets donations, you can't set it up to have donations go somewhere else
Oh well.

I'd love a book of the Arch wiki. However, if I just made it using PediaPress, Arch wouldn't get anything. I think Wikipedia gets 10% of the sales of books, without really doing anything other than setting up an extension — so, if some Arch wiki-god installs the extension for the Arch wiki… Arch will get money, and we'll get custom books containing precisely what we want them to contain.
